Can you believe this transformation!?! She went from a nice, sweet lady to a super model. Wow!! She is just over 6 months from a , lower blepharoplasty, SMAS lip augmentation, Erbium YAG laser skin resurfacing and . We added removal of the bottom 2/3rds or so of the submandibular glands about 2-3 years ago. This is been a game changer in my practice as it allows for the creation of the most beautiful and crisp jawline, not attainable before. I am now recommending this procedure on probably close to 75% of my facelift patients. If you can feel the gland sagging down into the neck just below the jawline (some sag far down onto the neck), then it might be the right thing for you. Don’t let people scare you, in the right hands and with the right equipment and expertise, it can be done safely without any side effects. After hundreds of cases, I have had 1 sialocele that resolved after 5 days with a drain, no hematomas, no permanent nerve injuries and no dry mouths. Literally, no long term issues ever. Not all surgeons do this procedure and not all do a deep plane facelift. That is why not all facelifts are the same and results vary significantly. No photography trickery here, same camera, lighting, head position, minor makeup changes, etc…. It’s all just from the surgery.
