Procedures: Mini-Facelift and Lower Eyelid “Pinch” Surgery
Patient: Judy Grant of Ashburn, Virginia in Loudoun County
Before: Judy is a long-time patient of Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg. She has received BOTOX® treatments to smooth her brow, and used Obagi Nu-Derm products to significantly improve the appearance and texture of her skin. A contracting officer for the federal government, Judy had continued driving to Fredericksburg for treatments even after moving to Loudoun County.
But neither treatment could address her sagging jowls, an inherited condition that aged her considerably. “When I looked in the mirror, I saw my mother looking back at me!” Judy recalls.
After: A crossroads event prompted Judy to take action. At age 54, she wanted to look her best before her remarriage Feb. 14, 2006 in St. Lucia. So Judy consulted her surgeon at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg.
“[He] has never pushed a procedure on me. I just told him what I was concerned about with my face, and he offered suggestions,” she explains.
Judy had a mini face lift and lower eyelid “pinch” surgery within two weeks of the wedding, and was back on the job within four days.
The end result is a dramatic difference in her appearance.
“My 31-year-old daughter thinks it’s great. My husband thinks it’s great, too—thought he didn’t put any pressure on me to have it done. I did it for me,” Judy says. |
