This patient wanted to refresh her appearance, specifically her jowls and eyes. Dr. Burns performed a standard facelift and neck lift using a lateral SMASectomy technique. She had an upper and lower blepharoplasty and buccal fat removal to contour and slim her lower cheeks. Her facelift results are pictured 4 months after surgery at Dr. Burns Dallas plastic surgery practice.
