1. PATIENT PROFILE & PROCEDURES PERFORMED
- Patient: Ms M. M., 58 years old – Real Estate Director based in Los Angeles, USA.
- Procedures performed:
- Full facelift.
- Forehead lift and brow lift.
- Neck lift.
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty).
2. THE PATIENT’S INITIAL CONCERNS
Before meeting Dr David Cong, the patient was experiencing several signs of advanced facial ageing:
- Facial sagging: Reduced skin elasticity caused the cheeks to descend, resulting in a loss of facial fullness.
- Drooping eyelids and forehead wrinkles: Loose skin around the forehead partially obscured the eyes, creating a tired appearance.
- Loss of jawline definition: Loose skin around the neck and chin affected the face’s contours, making the jawline appear less defined.
3. DR DAVID CONG’S COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT APPROACH
To achieve a refreshed appearance without an overly tight or stiff look, Dr David Cong recommended a combination of procedures tailored to the patient’s concerns.
- Discreet scar placement: Incisions were carefully positioned along the hairline and natural skin creases to minimise visible scarring and support an aesthetically pleasing result.
- Deep tissue repositioning: Rather than simply tightening the skin, Dr David Cong addressed the deeper SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) layer to provide more comprehensive facial support.
- Restoring facial proportions: Eyelid surgery combined with a forehead lift helped open up the eye area and create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
4. RESULTS AND PATIENT FEEDBACK
Following recovery, the patient experienced a remarkable transformation:
- A brighter, more refreshed gaze: The eyes appeared more open and youthful following the combination of eyelid surgery and a forehead lift.
- More defined facial contours: The skin around the face and neck appeared smoother, with a noticeably more defined jawline.
- A refreshed appearance: The patient was highly satisfied with her more refined facial contours and the discreet appearance of the surgical scars.
