This 48 year old woman was bothered by loss of volume in her upper face which contributed to a sunken eyelid area. By elevating her cheek fat to where it originated it improved the appearance of her face and eyes. There was minimal discomfort with her procedure and she was back to work in one week. Dr. Gray does a Macs facelift which he learned from Dr. Tonnard of Belgium in 2002. He recognized that aging occurs largely with sagging of tissues and devised a technique with a vertical pole which is directly opposite of gravity and eliminates scars behind the ears. There is much less cutting and no need for drains. There is less risk of complications a quicker recovery and a better result. The traditional facelift has extensive scarring behind the ears and alters the hairline. The traditional method is lateral and may make the mouth appear too wide and produce abnormal wrinkles in the cheeks.
