Mini Facelift Before & After Case 1058

Edward J. Gross, MD performed a mini facelift combined with DOT CO2 laser skin resurfacing to address both the structural and surface concerns visible in this 64-year-old patient's before photo. A mini facelift repositions and tightens the soft tissues of the lower face and neck. DOT CO2 laser resurfacing delivers fractional carbon dioxide energy to the skin surface, treating fine lines and texture irregularities.

Prospective patients researching a mini facelift in Orlando often want to know whether the procedure can produce a natural-looking result without an operated appearance. The after photo of this patient shows a jawline with more definition, reduced fullness beneath the chin, and softer nasolabial folds, with no signs of tension or distortion in the surrounding tissues. Surface texture across the cheeks and perioral area also appears more uniform compared to the before images.

The side and oblique views reinforce the degree of change along the neck and jaw, where the profile shows a cleaner transition from chin to neck. Dr. Gross is double board-certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery.
