This patient came to me concerned about her heavy eyelids infringing on her eyelashes. While she was thinking an eyelid lift, she ended up choosing an endoscopic browlift, which sometimes is a better option to rejuvenate and refresh the eye area. Learn more about there here. She’s also had a lip lift to address her upper lip getting “thinner” with age. The results are a very marked change in her appearance and she’s happy with the results!

This patient had fat grafting to the upper and lower face, liposuction of her jowls, and a lip lift for a younger, fresher look. Now she just looks great with #nofacelift and without looking *done*. The recovery for this fantastic procedure is much shorter than the traditional facelift.
