Laser Skin Resurfacing (DOT CO2) Before & After Case 1034

This patient sought rejuvenation for age-related changes in the lower face and neck, including skin laxity and loss of definition in the jawline. She also wished to address the visible effects of heavy sun damage. After discussing her goals with Dr. Edward J. Gross, she chose a combination of procedures: a mini facelift, chin implant, neck liposuction, laser skin resurfacing (DOT CO2), PRP (platelet rich plasma), and a neck lift.

The procedures were performed in a single session to maximize results and minimize downtime. Within just 2 weeks, the patient achieved a smoother neck profile and improved mid-face contour, with restored volume in the chin/jawline area. Laser resurfacing, paired with PRP therapy, helped soften fine lines and reduced the appearance of sun-damaged skin.

Her after photos were taken 2 weeks post-op, so some swelling and visibility of the sutures is normal and expected at that stage.
