Mother or daughter?
“Mom is 23 years older than her daughter, and I performed her facelift almost 10 years ago!”
I posted the two halves on Instagram this morning and asked one question. Left or right?
“A great facelift isn’t about looking different. It’s about looking like a younger version of yourself, even years later!”
Not Pulled. Moved.
“It’s still a deep plane facelift, so I am pulling the deeper structures. We’re not pulling on the skin, that’s what gives that pulled look.”
A pulled face would give the game away in a second. A moved one does not.
“It’s still going to be you. It’s going to be completely you, just a younger version. I’m sure if you look at your older photos, your cheeks were up a little bit higher, you didn’t have this fullness here, and your brows were probably up a little bit higher too. So it is just setting the clock back.”
Ten Years On
“It lasts about seven to ten years.” Then the clock runs again, from the new starting line.
“You’re 52, and we go back ten years. So you’re going to look like you’re 40. And then you’re going to start over. So you keep aging, and then in about ten years we would do a touch up, and we bring you back ten years. So you’re still 40. So in your sixties, you’re going to look 40.”
“We kind of lock in the younger age, and then ten years go by, and we do a touch-up, and we get you back to that. It’s a good idea, because if we do it when you’re seventy years old, we can only make you look sixty.”
Lock in your younger self.
