At 82 years old, this elegant patient desired a refreshed, rested appearance that reflected how vibrant she feels every day. Her goal was not to look different — but to soften signs of aging around the eyes, jawline, and neck while preserving her natural beauty.
To achieve this, Dr. Shaun Parson performed a quad blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid surgery) combined with a facelift for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
A quad blepharoplasty addresses all four eyelids:
Upper eyelid hooding and excess skin
Lower eyelid puffiness and under-eye bags
Crepey skin beneath the eyes
Volume irregularities that create a tired appearance
By rejuvenating both the upper and lower eyelids, the eyes appear brighter, smoother, and more youthful — without looking overdone.
While eyelid surgery refreshes the eyes, a facelift addresses:
Sagging along the jawline
Jowling
Loose skin in the lower face
Neck laxity
Combining procedures creates balanced, harmonious results. Treating only one area can sometimes leave other areas of the face looking out of proportion. A comprehensive approach allows for a natural, cohesive outcome.
Chronologic age alone does not determine candidacy for facial surgery. Overall health, skin quality, and surgical goals are far more important factors.
Healthy patients in their 70s and 80s can experience beautiful, safe, and natural outcomes when procedures are thoughtfully planned. Dr. Parson carefully evaluates medical history, healing capacity, and expectations to ensure optimal safety and results.
Following her quad blepharoplasty and facelift, this patient achieved:
Brighter, more open eyes
A smoother jawline
Improved neck contour
A refreshed yet completely natural appearance
She still looks like herself — simply rested, lifted, and revitalized.
