- How do plastic surgeons reverse advanced aging of the face? Can multiple plastic surgeries be combined? In this episode of Aesthetic Minutes, Dr Soares reviews a clinical case presentation of one of his very own patients to showcase the transformative power of plastic surgery in the total facial rejuvenation of a 69 yo female patient with severe facial aging leading to an amazing transformation. The approach to this patient required a comprehensive array of procedures that include a facelift, platysmal plication for necklifting, a carbon dioxide laser skin peel to resurface the face, and a trichophytic brow lift to lift the brows and smooth the forehead. #Facelift #LaserPeel #Browlift #TotalFacialRejuvenation

Absolutely amazing change, and very interesting explanation of the techniques. It's funny, I think she doesn't look any younger. She went from a worn-out late 60s to a stunning, pristine late 60s.
IamG: interestingly i thought similar to what you said. but i felt she looked in her 70s, like mid to late and just looked better afterwards in 60s.
yeah... kinda like from a smoker's face to a non-smoker... what she would look like.
To make a young face they would have to fat graft and use collagen to blend the features together.
Same.. she does not look younger at all
@@marionpeeten-geraats4906..... but much better/fresher than before. I wonder how much these procedures costs .
Good job. She looks great. Doesn’t look tight and “pulled”. Very natural looking.
Neck looks pulled but the rest is great
I agree - nice to see that this can be achieved without that hollywood 'pulled tight as a drum' effect.
YES A VERY GOOD OUT COME HERE.
where? what video are you watching?
Rejuvenation is a misleading term. She looks better, but not really younger.
I think she looks great. Totally regonisable. The same face. Just refreshed. Brilliant work.
Thank you!
@@AestheticMinutes the neck lift is particularly impressive. Great work, I hope the lady is pleased.
Just refreshed at what cost I wonder ?
Genetics has very important role for aging ! My mother is 94 years old , has a very little wrinkles , sun spots , hyperkeratosis! Also ,She hada life with no smoking, no drinking , avoiding sun tan !
I love that she didn't look over done. She just looks like someone just aging gracefully
I was an O.R. Nurse for 42 years. I never got to see the results. What a great job. I'm sure she's very pleased with the results.
Maybe that is something that should be done? A great boost for morale and in general, if you work in a caring profession *seeing* or hearing the results is soo much a part of the joy of the job.
Yep I didn't either working in PACU but floated to the OR often. The plastic guy's always wanted "Barbie's" working in the office for them, probably still do. Just have to pick your plastic guy wisely, I'd prefer not to have that dog hanging out the car window look.
Can u tell me where do Americans get so much money from for such surgeries as they are v expensive?
@@adambz9633 when u want something bad enough, you make it happen. maybe they just stop buying Starbucks & eating out everyday...in no time you'll have $90,000
I love the way this lovely lady finally did something for herself at her age. Looks fabulous after her treatment. I am so happy for her. 😁🙏🇬🇧😘
We agree, it’s very rewarding to witness.
@@AestheticMinutes how much was her total cost please?
@@lucymisti looking to save up my coins...
@@AestheticMinutes it looks completely natural, a great outcome.
She seems much older than 60s . Too much sun damage?
She looks great...and when you look great you feel great!!! Im so happy for her and her results!
Wow she looks AMAZING! So tastefully done .I bet she was so happy . I think it’s lovely that she treated herself to this procedure.
She looks 20+ years younger!
I hope she loves the results
Before this procedure she looked at least 15 years older than 69. Great results. Now she looks really refreshed in her late sixties. She as a more graceful expression.
This is why it is smart to start getting skin care treatments at 40 and to keep it up, instead of doing nothing and waiting until age 68.
@@Jibbie49 I started at age 9 … I had my ears pinned back !!!
@@1953childstar That's wonderful, as there is no need to have to deal with such a problem, when it can be corrected.
@@1953childstar That is wonderful, as kids can be so cruel. My friend got a "nose job" at 18, since the doctors want her to wait until she finished growing, but she always said "I have my Dad's nose on my Mom's face." She did look like her pretty mother.
@Beautifully Mastered One Beverly Hill's physician said Botox can prevent wrinkles, when you start young. I know a 30 yo who has had chemical face peels, which helped stop her adult acne. She also used medication & changed her diet, which is a factor.
that's insane 😮 I always wonder how people used to look without wrinkles and sagging, but it's such a hard thing to imagine. This lady has underwent a massive transformation!!
Are you sure she’s only 69????? This precious lady has had a very hard life 😔 She is only 4 years older than me 😔 Once again she looks beautiful 💯🌟💜🌟💯 She deserved a facelift 💯 We women are always taking care of everyone else when we need to stop and daily take time for ourself. Thank you for giving her the look and confidence she deserves. 💯💜🌟💜💯
Yes, I thought surely someone was not telling the truth about her age. She looked like a weather woman
in her late 70's or early 80's.
My father is 86 and has spent a lot of time in the sun with zero sunscreen. He has much, much better skin than this woman in all aspects, wrinkles, age spots, and sagging. Her before looked 110 years old to me.
I thought that too, she’s only a few years older than me but definitely looks to be in he 80s She looks great after surgery though.
Truth is she looked much older than her age of 69. I actually double-checked her age at first because I thought she had to be much older than that. I would imagine she was a serious sun worshiper, however, genetics can play a huge role as well. She looks great in her after photo! To my eyes, she looks to be in her 60's, which is fine. What's great is that she no longer looks like she's in her late 70's, maybe even early 80's. So this is a great result!
She looked 90 before and 60 after. Great job!
Uuuhhhhh not really. She looked human before and human after.
i feel like youve no idea what an actual 90 year old looks like....
My mom is 92. Never had any work done on her face. She looks about the same age as the after picture! I’m 71. My friends, all around the same age, look really good. Nowadays, 70 doesn’t look like it did 30 years ago, even without cosmetic surgery.
She looks amazing and natural. I love it!
Beautiful outcome! If this patient had realistic expectations, she must’ve been thrilled with such a great result 😎
This lady looks beautiful both before and after treatment. Aging of skin is natural and we all (hopefully) will get older and get aged skin.
Thank you, that is the goal. Facial rejuvenation is about restoration rather than transforming one’s core identity features.
You’re right handsome
She did not take care of her skin and it shows. She looks like she is in her early 80s in before pics and after pics she looks her numerical age
@@shawnatiu9676 My Grandmother actually is in her 80s and looks waaay younger than this but hey, as they say, black don't crack I guess...
My grandma was 95 when she died she hardly had any wrinkles and lovely English rose skin it’s been many years since she passed but I remember her as a very beautiful lady
Wow, the difference is like mother to daughter.
Hello Deborah, How are you doing?
If I win on the lotto,I'm going to have this done .She looks Wonderful.
For If win the lotto I’m going to feed hungry people.
@@pickles9440 you can still look good doing that
Neither one needs to win the lottery to get your wish...Cosmetic procedures are more affordable now and one can always volunteer to feed the hungry ;-).
@@gabrielort3531 I feed people all the time Yes I do need ti win on the lotto,we are not in that kind of financial way. I do enjoy cooking and giving out food .So Mind your own business or put your money where your mouth is
@@pickles9440 if you win the lotto, you can do both!!...Feed the hungry and treat yourself to a procedure/treatment that makes you look & feel your best.
Astonishing change. She looks like a different person. Thank god I take care of my skin so I won’t need that much work when my time comes up.
There are other factors that could age the skin so badly like stress, bad nutrition, alcohol, tobacco, drugs etc.
@@babycakes8434 true. But most of those things are under a person’s control. I intentionally don’t smoke, drink heavy, go out and sunbathe.
that’s what you think now, but you never know what could happen in the future. you could have an injury, illness, health condition, etc.
That's why its so important to use spf of at least 30-50 every day, it really can help to protect the skin from the damaging sun rays, of course it can't totally block the rays but it does help quite a bit.🌞
Yah I use 50 my mom 75 maybe only few wrinkles she most be in the sun to long I don't spend much on my body but when it comes to my face I stated treating with terric expensive creams I'm 54 maybe 1 wrinkle and I don't sleep and my life is very stressful
I agree
Use sunscreen indoors too. Visible light adds to photoaging
Even indoors and the car. Photo aging is cumulative. Anyone seen the picture of the lady that worked in an office with her left side of her face to a plate glass office window. Ambient light for years. That side of her face was dramatic. I'm militant with the sunscreen now.
@@betsyb2256 yes..i agree..it is just so hard to keep reapplying all day. I look like a white sheet is covering my face by early afternoon. Any suggestions you have would b appreciated
she looks so much better - as a former model, I have been quite vain, but we need to remember that a person is so much more than appearances!
Then why watch this video?
I get what you're saying but, I don't think you should call yourself vain when your very livelyhood depends on how well you look. I'd say you were protecting your income and career.
Absolutely dear. You are very beautiful
This is true but today’s society is so judgmental, and men WANT YOUNG WOMEN!!!!!!
@@loricook3274 : nothing new my dear.
She has those pearcing eyes, loved the results. It's incredible how the aging skin can hide people's beautiful features.
I know a lady who works at my local gas station looks like her. Severe facial aging. This lady has a refreshed age-appropriate look.
How was her before not an age appropriate look?
@@Carolina-rd3gh In my opinion, she appeared to have severe facial aging due to sun exposure and needed surgical correction and apparently she thought so too because she got a face lift. Duh.
@@franceswalker2627 You do realise that genetics is the biggest factor for ageing and skin sagging and not sun damage, right?
She looks fabulous! Amazing job!
That is amazing! I’m so happy for this lady! Her results are spectacular!
I see people ten years older than her who look as good without surgery.The secret is looking after yourself and your skin from a young age ( your 20s)...Healthy eating,no smoking,no alcohol, SPF 50 every day.
@@lorenzobianchini4415 my grandmother never used spf in her life, never used any face cream, she never smoked, never drank alcohol and always ate healthy - her skin is smooth and glowing at age 72
Absolutely amazing! I would love to see an interview with her post surgery. When you hear someone talk about how great they feel you understand how , when done safely , these types of procedures can be life altering and incredibly positive.
The results look younger for certain but her natural beauty shone through before even with wrinkles.
I agree. She seemed beautiful to me even with wrinkles, like my Aunt Harriet and Aunt Adah were who lived to late nineties and 100. The love in their eyes made them look young! 🦋🌞
Absolutely. Beautiful eyes
you've got to be kidding!
The moral here is stay out of the sun and always where the right sunscreen
Stay off sugar and trans fats.
Take genetics into account. Also, smoking and alcohol consumption. Possible weight loss as well.
where ????
@veroave58 I think you meant WEAR not "where" haha 😅
Moisturize..moisturize..
moisturize...
Facial exercises daily
Even with all that "work$$"
If she doesn't moisturize and exercise her face..she'll be in the same status in a few years anyhow.
End result is amazing, wow! Really natural look too, wouldn't have known she'd had surgery unless you'd either seen her before or she'd shown you video/pictures.
The definition of a perfect facelift. She looks 100% like herself still but looks like her own daughter now🤗🤗
I'm glad she didn't get filler....she still looks natural but beautiful and bright!
Thank you, we agree.
haaaa. filler?
Her skin is far too thin for fillers… They would appear lumpy.
After her surgey, she did not need the filler. Her cheek “bones” and even her philtrum and top lip were lifted and the collapsed cupid’s bow completely restored. Amazing! This is one very talented surgeon. And cute too. 😊
I was curious about volume replacement and there was mention of filler. Was fat grafting not an option?
That's Amazing and it looks Natural 😍 I'm sure she feels like she's been reborn again. Wow , Great Doctors , obviously with extreme experience .
What fabulous work! She looks so very natural. She must be over the moon with this.
Thank you; she loves it!
These results are incredible! She has smooth skin and a firm jawline!
I think that the reason she doesn't look "young" (but what were you expecting, for a 69-year old to look 30?) is because of bone loss around the eyes. As we age, our eye sockets enlarge and our eyes sink in, looking smaller. And the procedures could not address that. If you cover just the eyes, she can easily pass for 50.
And to those who say she looked 90 before, no, she didn't. She was very wrinkled, but wrinkles are not the main thing that age us. It's bone loss and sag, especially jowls. Notwithstanding what I said above about her eyes, she still had a great bone structure. And little jowling (not even visible in frontal view, go back to 0'32", you'll see). She certainly didn't look 90. Just a weathered 70-year old.
And now, she glows.
Nothing is as aging as jowls.
The main thing is the nose and ears. 2 things that never stop growing. An elderly person will always have stretched nostrils with a long nose, and long ears. So some women will also get a nose job and ear lobe surgery.
@@tyffaneelavely8087 They don't grow, they elongate due to sag...
Collagen.....stopping smoking and drinking alcohol, exercise, stop stressing, try eating healthy.
The biggest culprit is photo aging.
@@betsyb2256 Yes excessive sun exposure always ends in prematurely aging skin.
Stress free,impossible.
I aged almost 10 years in two years living with my mother.
Don't forget sleeping 6-8 hrs., and I mean YOU!!! Watching this video at 3 o'clock in the morning...
@@EspadasYCopas I wonder how much SHE aged, Living with you? MOST parents think they are helping their children.
Were you CARING for her in her old age? That is always hard, on ALL concerned.
Incredible result. Your patient looks amazing. I’m so glad she refused the fillers though, especially the eye troughs. After all that work, she truly doesn’t need to be putting up with regular painful injections and to be honest, she actually doesn’t need them, your work was that good👌
Holy crap!! It’s the fountain of youth! Amazing work!
This is surgery at it’s best, fantastic results she looks wonderful
I think she looked like she was in her 80's before and then early 60's in after photo, good job done by the surgeon.
She looks great! And it looks natural, not plastic and overdone!
Well done, she looks mature in the best way, not trying to look 25 at 69.
I love how natural she looks! Stunning!
Amazing result. Looks so natural and attractive.
She looks amazing …happy for her 🙏🏽🥰
She looks fabulous, so natural. Fantastic work!
It’s rare to see a worthwhile facial reconstruction on any videoed format. This is a very brave woman and blessedly talented doctors , nurses and surgeons. Well done! Like a miracle. I commend you all. I’m amazed at her courage.
Wow! Good job.
I hate how society will not let us age. It is a real privilege to get older. Beauty on the inside counts more.
when my daughter was barely two, she loving rubbed my forehead then made a face. i had her at 40 so i was no young mom. i asked "what?" she replied "i don't like those, i don't like those bumps". no societal interference about age there...she simply knew what she liked and what she didn't like. i used to think like you and then realized that we all have innate sense of what we like to look at. most people prefer live flowers to dead flowers. i now understand why some people do things to make them look the way they want to look..whether it's clothes or make up, hair style or aesthetic skin work. it's what they like to look at, what makes them happier, more beautiful on the inside.
@@sherilynl4038 funny, i have a story the exact opposite of yours. We had a beautiful acquintance in her early 40s with prematurely aged skin. She was always tan with striking features. As an eight year old i adored her skin in particular, not just the color but what i perceived as texture, like interesting 'crushed velvet'. I would always play with the - wrinkled - skin on her elegant hands and thought her the most beautiful woman i had ever seen. 😎
@@Loufi303 thus...everyone has their own sense of what they like to look at :-) love this story
I agree
I absolutely agree
OHHHH MYYYY GOOOODNESSSSSS!!! This is absolutely spectacular work, and also gives me a great deal of hope for what can be done when I need this done! WONDERFUL SURGEON!
What a difference in the before and after pictures! The surgery really helped her tremendously. I think lifestyle and genetics really makes a difference in how you age in your face because this lady's before picture looks like she could be my mother and I'm the same age.
WOW! Good for her! She looks fantastic!
I wonder how much the "miracle " cost.
Money well spent 💯
A lot
Nobody called it a miracle
Probably $15k 😭
in Turky 5000 $
Yes, she looks absolutely brilliant and no one can deny that you've done an excellent job, but in your AFTER photo she's wearing make-up- WHY?
If we could have seen her AFTER photo free of make-up too ( as she was in her Before shots) then she would still have still looked great,
but it would have been a more honest comparison for your before & after photos.
I appreciate you wanted a clean face for all the film footage containing your scientific descriptions, but it would have given a truer outcome of how she really looked now if she hadn't been wearing any make-up at the end too.
Yes, was thinking the exact same thing. The lighting looks different, too. It is obvious she looks amazingly better, but it is a little misleading. I would be more impressed with no makeup and same lighting.
But… she WAS wearing makeup in the before too. Lol harder to see I guess
Before pictures always look like that because they're taking immediately before surgery. The after pictures are taken at a regular appointment when she will be dressed as she normally would, including hair and makeup
It might be that they hadnt finished getting rid of the age spots and discoloration? The make up woyld even her skin tone.
maybe she wasn't comfortable and wanted to wear make up.
This woman looks amazing. My god!!! I had no idea these issues could be corrected to this extent.
This is amazing. You have given me hope for my skin quality being able to improve.
She looks great & I'm sure she'll take good care of her skin. To me, she was attractive before surgery but now she's stunning. Thanks.🤗
Good for her! She looks completely natural and refreshed. I can't imagine going through the pain of the procedures, but I hope she is happy with the result.
she couldn't imaging continuing to go through the pain of looking in the mirror any longer so, I get it!!!
I can only imagine the cost. Could not afford it myself. A lot of work & healing time
Amazing transformation thanks for her courage and belief in the professionals. Doctor's thumbs for believing transformation is part the good of life. Your classes and clarifications on your area is highly appreciated and giving her a chance to shine again at that age. ✨
She and I are the same age… She either had a great deal of sun exposure or perhaps health issues ( poor genetics ). I personally feel she looked as though she was roughly 90 before her procedures ( I have a 92 year old friend who had no work done and looks much better ). After the procedures ( and they were very well done ), she looks like a sophisticated woman in her late 60's who had a face lift.
Exactly! She is not look like 70. 70 people sometimes look alike 55.
You do realise that people age differently right, what you eat, sun,drugs, physical activity, alcohol, cigarettes,genetics,skin care.
How to shame a women online right you must be so proud.
I'm thinking maybe she smokes also. But he didn't mention it if so
After the procedure she actually looks her age
I had a friend who, in her 40s developed incredible deep wrinkles in her face. She didn't look old, she just looked like a 40-something year old with incredibly wrinkled skin (thick younger skin as opposed to thin older skin). It's the genetics lottery. In the end, attractiveness has mostly to do with how you feel and your facial expressions.
First thing I saw were her gorgeous eyes. The results were excellent and I hope she’s happy 😊
Wow she looks amazing! The fact that it looks natural 😍👌 pretty dope!
Her skin looks amazing!
Unbelievable!!! Bravo!
Amazing change! Wonder how much all that cost though? You have to have lots of money to spend to look that good!
Yes, I'd love to know how much all that cost. She could have traveled the world instead!
@@ShareC78 Yep, I'd take travel instead lol
Yes, considering just a simple face lift can cost $35K… Plus I would have had a rhinoplasty, that would soften the face.
cloth spa sheet mask and pat the skin and put lotion on daily wont need surgery.
It definitely cost a lot more than regular sunscreen use would have
Wow she looks rested and healthy! Good job doctor amazing work!
69 years? Wow! I am her age and have been blessed. Take care at an early age ladies.
Patient “give it to ma strait doc”
Doctor ‘’I diagnose you with a severe case of old’’ lol 😂
🤣🤣
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂👌💯
Lol
Excellent video and excellent results. It would have been helpful, however, to see images of the patient 1 month following the procedure, 2 months, etc. Just a thought for future reference. Thanks.
Thank you for the suggestion; most patients do not want to share photos in the early post-op period; rest assured, they look pretty horrendous until at least the 2 week mark. I tell my patients that they will only start looking good and enjoying the results at typically around 1 month and will always look their best no sooner than 3 months. If a facelift avoids midfacial work and no anterior neck work, then patients can look good at even 1 week. However, specializing in advanced facial aging, those are not the patients who most commonly present to our clinic. We are prepared to handle all extremes of facial aging for eligible candidates, but there is a healing period that must be well planned out.
Thank you for your thoughtful response. All the best.
These results are seriously amazing.
She looks beautiful. What wonderful Doctors you are
Wow, worn out look? That's sweet. Anyway, amazing work, she looks awesome. If only the procedures were affordable for those of us who don't have the extra cash. But remarkable. I'm sure she is overwhelmed.
It's a miracle for women. I wish we could all do it. I'm not needing that yet. I'm 71 yrs and exercise my neck muscles and use good skincare. But if I ever need it, I hope to do the same. We should change whatever we can, that will improve our feelings and outlook on life. Bravo, Dr!!!
Hello Helene, How are you doing?
Beautiful, fresh and natural looking. I honestly thought she would have the wind tunnel effect with all the surgical procedures she was having. This result is just lovely.
Wow! Amazing job! She looks very natural.
Purely from an educational perspective, this was super cool. Very informative.
Thank you.
beautifully explained and achieved - compliments
Thank you!
Did he mention how long the effects of this are expected to last? I know surgery is permanent but eventually it will break down some, right?
Awe! She looks amazing! Very natural too! She’s beautiful! Great job, doctor!
Hello Charice, How are you doing?
She looks great!! I'll bet she was very pleased.
Hello Cheryl, How are you doing?
I've seen 90 year olds with fewer wrinkles and less sagging. Heavy smoking and excessive sun exposure are skin killers. Better to take precautions earlier in life- stop smoking and use plenty of sunscreen or stay out of the sun entirely when possible and take a good vitamin D capsule.
We completely agree! However, this patient never smoked and did not have excessive sun exposure more than the average individual; this type of aging is largely predisposed to due to genetics and is known as dermal elastosis.
@@AestheticMinutes Thank for your explanation. That probably means that one or two other members of her family have the same kind premature of skin aging. It's a roll of the genetic dice. You really worked your magic on this lady but I don't envy her the recovery process. It can be brutal.
stop drinking it dehydrates you badly
WOW! I’m astonished by this transformation. I expected an improvement but not such a drastic one. She looks so healthy . I can’t imagine the the total cost of these procedures. I’m also sceptical of how it will look as she continues to age! Excellent video, thank you.
She looks very refreshed and still looks like herself. Very good work!
Genius, well done Grasshopper!
I’m 43 look like a rough 53…. It’s effecting me more and more every day. This video is giving me hope!! I am very interested in this. I think I’m in the neighborhood too
This womans final results are amazing. Question when are they going to find something that tightens hands. I saw Madonna recently, her face was puffy but her hands..omg!
WOW! This Was very detailed description. I watched it couple times. Thanks for sharing.
Good for her she looks amazing!
Hello how are you doing 😊😊☺️
Her before pics look older than my 90 yr old patients in my nursing home.
I agree!
you didn't even need to say such a negative statement...my mom always told me if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all. I wish you would live by this advice moving forward
Beautiful work! She looks so much younger in a most natural way
Pre facelift, my grandma looked that way in her 90s. Now the patient looks at least 20-30 years younger.
Now she looks like 60 before she was looking 80 !!!!!!
Yeah, I thought she was in her eighties, too, initially. Great, natural-looking results!
Note to self, protect face/neck/hands from the sun. Imagine how people who use tanning beds are going to age out. This sort of treatment is so different from what is normally seen. Good on her.
youre talking like getting wrinkly is the worst possible thing that could happen......
You sent her like two decades in the past. Amazingly done ✅
This is very interesting. She looks amazing! I notice that she still looks her age as well. That can be a selling point for some people. If I were here I would couple it with some skin rejuvenation but she may not want that. This is awesome. Great work!
You can’t judge plastic surgery from static photos. Ideally, you’d see the person in reality, but the next best thing is to see high definition of them speaking, laughing, moving, reacting. With and without make up. Then you’ll get a better idea if it’s natural or not.
Exactly, it's a shame the dissection before surgery was so thorough, but the after was a brief, small glimpse with a bright light shining into her face. The neck was clearly treated, but it's impossible to tell about the forehead.
Excellent work!
Hello Cindy, How are you doing?
wow beautiful result! Her neck and jawline in particular! wow! Bravo!
It's really a great job she looks absolutely changed wonderful beautiful great job Dr Bless you
