Facial Laser Resurfacing: Case 2 (09917)

Description

This 57 year old woman wanted to improve her skin texture as well as her cheeks, jawline, jowling and neck looseness. She was referred to Dr. Graham by her physician. She had developed coarse skin texture and irregular hyperpigmentation. Prior treatments with creams had been ineffective. A prior upper eyelid surgery had been successful. We discussed both laser resurfacing and facelift, and she chose facelift plus laser treatment around her mouth and eyelids. She reported little pain post-op and looked excellent in make-up after two weeks. The laser resurfacing greatly improved the surface texture around her mouth and chin, and improved the results of her prior eyelid tuck. Her assessment: "I think I look great. This was a great experience. I had no pain. I had an excellent result. Dr. Graham was always easily accessible, never rushing in and out." We appreciate her kindness and enthusiasm.
