This 52-year-old woman presented because of
the sagging skin on her upper eyelids. But
even more than this, she disliked the lines
around her mouth which she felt aged her
prematurely. For her, Dr. Kass performed
laser skin resurfacing and upper eyelid
lifts. She was so satisfied with the results
that Dr. Kass achieved that now, her primary
concern was what others might think when she
was seen with such an older appearing man
(her husband)! So, she insisted that he see
Dr. Kass to have HIS eyelids done!

This 43 year old woman was concerned about
the drooping of her upper lids, loss of
definition of her cheeks, and she “hated”
the bags under her eyes. For her, Dr. Kass
performed bilateral mid face lifts,
bilateral upper and lower eyelid lifts,
bilateral eyelid ptosis repairs, and a full
face Hetter resurfacing chemical peel
procedure.
Although this patient developed some
temporary symptoms related to dry eyes and
had to use moisture drops for a few months
while wearing her contact lenses, she was
extremely impressed with the results of her
surgery. She was amazed that the surgery so
successfully restored a youthful fullness to
her cheeks, that the upper lids were lifted
so successfully and were symmetric and
natural appearing, that the bags beneath her
eyes were all gone, and that all of these
problems could be addressed at the same
time. Her husband volunteered that when he
looked at her now, “it was almost like being
married to a different (younger) woman.”

This 65 year old woman presented because her
eyes felt heavy. But even more, she hated
the lines around her mouth. For her, we
performed medically necessary surgery on her
upper eyelids (ptosis repair), combined with
lower eyelid surgery, and Hetter chemical
peel with facial resurfacing. What did she
think of her results? She said that after
the surgery she felt great! She was amazed
that no one could ee any scars! She stated
that she thinks Dr. Kass is a "miracle
worker."

This 70 year old woman wondered what could
be done to improve her jaw line, jowls, and
lines around her mouth. She was fearful of
surgery because she had previously had non
cosmetic surgery for cancer of the neck and
specifically requested that we avoid the
sternocleidomastoid muscle area entirely
(the large fold at the bottom of the photo
heading up toward her earlobe).
For her, we performed the Weekend Lift, the
Neck Lift with liposuction and a limited
suture platysmaplasty, and a Hetter chemical
peel for facial resurfacing. We avoided the
area of her understandable concern. Yet, she
was delighted with her results! She said
that we had achieved exactly what she
wanted. By working within her stated goals
and concerns, she remains one of our most
grateful and happy patients.
