Facelift (Rhytidectomy) - Case 3

This 47 year-old woman felt that her face looked older than her age (and how she felt). She came to Minneapolis Plastic Surgery for face and neck cosmetic surgery, and underwent outpatient dual-layer facelift/necklift (SMAS or muscle-layer tightening as well as facial skin), plus fat removal under the chin (submental direct fat excision) as an outpatient operation under local anesthesia plus IV sedation. Her outpatient surgery was performed at our in-office AAAASF-accredited surgical facility.
