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:

1. Malar festoons (bags).
2. Aging face.
3. Jowling.

Treatment:

1. Full-face chemical peel.
2. 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.
