The patient came to Dr. Marcelo looking for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Her main concerns involved a loss of facial contour and sagging spread across the face and neck.
Since her main concerns involved different areas of the face and neck, the indication was a Complete Microlift Deep Plane, allowing each structure to be repositioned according to its specific needs.
Treatment included addressing the neck (Deep Neck). The goal was to reposition the deeper tissues as a whole, restoring facial balance while preserving the patient's natural features.
For the upper face, incisions were placed within the hairline.
For the lower face and neck (Deep Neck), access was made starting at the earlobe, running discreetly behind the ear. A small incision beneath the chin may also be used to complement neck treatment, depending on the plan for each case.
This approach allows access to the deeper planes of the face and neck while keeping scars discreet.
Not every patient needs to treat the entire face.
In this case, the signs resulting from the passage of time were spread across different regions. The indication for an integrated treatment sought meaningful improvement of the deep structural sagging of the face and neck. The focus of the plan was the careful optimization of the tissues to soften the contours, based on the principle that medical intervention acts on anatomical repositioning and the management of the effects of time, subject to the limits imposed by the patient's own biology and individual healing.
The photographs shown on this page were taken approximately one year after surgery, illustrating a tissue response consistent with the surgical plan.
