Chemical Peel and Lower Face Liposuction

Cosmetic Concern: 68-year old woman who is unhappy with her sagging lower eyelid skin and aging face.

Diagnosis

  • Malar festoons (bags).
  • Aging face.
  • Jowling.

Treatment:

  • Full-face chemical peel.
  • Lower face and neck liposuction

Discussion: Note the dramatic improvement in the quality of her skin and the contour of the lower face. She had 8 days of downtime with her procedures. She also would have benefited from a lower facelift but this patient did not want to undergo general anesthesia. All the work was performed in the office under local anesthesia.
