BEFORE

BEFORE

Clinical Findings

  • Upper-face volume depletion (atrophy)

  • Significant neck muscle laxity and facial sagging

Treatment Plan & Procedure

A structural, long-lasting approach was chosen to restore definition and volume:

  • Neck liposuction (submental area)

  • Fat grafting to restore volume in key areas:

    • Under-eye region, temples, cheeks

    • Chin and lips

  • Fat harvesting from the abdominal flanks

Anesthesia: General
Surgery time: ~3.5 hours

Recovery & Aftercare

  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to support swelling reduction

  • Specialized facial compression garment for 2 weeks

  • Expected mild bruising and swelling for approximately 1 week

  • Gradual integration of the grafted fat, improving contour and restoring natural volume over time
