Improvement Focus:  Excess upper eyelid skin, lower eyelid bags, cheek decent with jowls, obtuse angle between face and neck with loose skin.

Technique: Cervicofacial Rhytidectomy (Face Lift, Neck Lift), Sub SMAS Dissection and Flap, Platysmaplasty, Upper and Lower Lid Blepharoplasty

Patient Story:

This patient is a woman in her late fifties who is the wife of a senior hospital administrator in Austin, Texas.  She was interested in comprehensive cosmetic facial rejuvenation.  Following her consultation with Plastic Surgeon Dr. Weinfeld, she felt the best approach for her was two-stage process.  First she underwent an upper and lower blepharoplasty.  The lower blepharoplasty was performed with a subciliary approach permitting septal reset and blending of lid cheek junction.  This advanced approach provides more than just lower lid smoothing.  It permits elevation of the upper cheek, softening of the nasojugal crease, and a decreased vertical dimension of the lower eyelid – all features associated with youth and attractiveness.  Following three months she underwent and facelift and necklift.  In the majority of patients, but especially in patients with full faces and necks, Dr. Weinfeld choices to use direct sculpting of the lower face and neck fat instead of using liposuction which can be less  precise.  The powerful effect of direct sculpting can be seen in her post-operative photos.

Description:

Immediate follow up (one week) for rhinoplasty with rib graft for saddle nose deformity caused by Wegner’s Granulomatosis.

Wegner’s Granulomatosis is a inflammatory disorder of blood vessels and surrounding tissue. It often results in severe tissue damage leading to collapse of nasal structures.

Description:

Long term follow up (greater than one year) for rhinoplasty to reduce hump on profile view and and straighten nose in the front view.

Description:

About 7 months following rhinoplasty and chin augmentation with implant.
Notice how on the front view the chin implant provides more support for the lower lip and her mouth. Rhinoplasty surgery (nose job) is often combined with other procedures to improve overall facial balance. These additional procedures include chin augmentation (chin implant), chin reduction (genioplasty), eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), fat grafting, brow-lift, neck liposuction, and buccal fat reduction.

Patient Story:

This patient is in her mid-sixties and is an artist.  Her husband, a senior hospital system administrator in Austin, Texas, became of aware of Dr. Weinfeld’s interest in advanced facial rejuvenation.  She desired neck contour improvement, reduction of jowls, and restoration or cheek position.  In addition, she wanted to reduce upper eyelid excess skin.  She underwent upper lid blepharoplasties and a facelift with necklift.  She has been very satisfied with the natural yet profound transformation.

Description:

7 week followup from rhinoplasty. Technique- open with ligament preservation and restoration. Combined with procedures to improve breathing. Scientific studies show that even at 3 months there is still 40% of the total swelling to resolve. So we know that this result will get even better with time.
