Facelift Before & After Case 362

This 55-year-old patient sought facial rejuvenation after healing from a prior glossectomy and radiation treatment for tongue cancer. She expressed concerns about visible scarring and changes in skin quality resulting from her cancer therapy. Her goals included addressing asymmetries, managing skin redundancy, and improving overall skin texture while maintaining a natural appearance. She presented for consultation to discuss surgery options at my Dallas practice.

A lower facelift was performed to tighten and reposition underlying tissues, particularly along the left side of her face. To address the right jawline, I used lateral plication techniques and also performed a direct excision of the patient’s previous neck scar, which included removing redundant radiated skin. To improve skin tone and texture across the entire face, I completed full face Erbium laser resurfacing for targeted rejuvenation. A brow lift was also performed to restore youthful positioning and improve the upper facial contours.

The patient progressed as expected and maintained good healing without major complications. Her after photos highlight improved jawline definition, greater facial symmetry, and refreshed skin quality. Improvements in the appearance of her neck scar and radiated areas are also visible. The results reflect careful surgical planning and an individualized approach combining facelift, brow lift, and laser resurfacing.
