Laser Resurfacing - Case 5

This 51 year-old woman came to Minneapolis Plastic Surgery for facial laxity and aging, as well as skin rejuvenation. The proper order for two-stage procedures is to undergo the skin/muscle tightening and loose skin removal first, followed several months later by laser resurfacing. She underwent bicoronal forehead lift (browlift), SMAS facelift surgery, and upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid lifts). Four months later she underwent full-face laser resurfacing with our third-generation dual-wavelength Derma-K laser (non-fractional). Both outpatient operations were performed in our accredited office surgical facility.
