Mini Facelift- Case 2
Dr. John Burns, FACS



This patient had a Mini "Lift and Fill" Facelift. Short scar with SMAS stacking and elevation. She also had an upper and lower blepharoplasty to awaken and refresh her eyes. Fat was harvested from her midsection and thighs and strategically injected at her cheeks, temples, jawline, smile lines, and lips to restore facial volume that depleted with age. Her results are 4 months post her mini facelift with Dr. John Burns.
