Facelift

Patient Description

This vivacious lady lost her mojo after she was diagnosed with some medical conditions in her 50's. She was spending more time at home, got depressed, gained weight and felt sorry for herself. She got on her computer and found a penpal in Europe. The evening conversations with her penpal rekindled her vivacious personality.  After a year, her penpal made arrangements to come visit her, here in Louisiana. She brought the picture of herself (from 20 years ago) that she had been posting on line and asked me to make her look like that in a month. I knew this was a precarious situation as no one should have plastic surgery to please another, but only to please themselves. Nevertheless, I liked her so much that I did a full facelift and neck lift with upper and lower blepharoplasty. She was so happy with herself after surgery, she actually declined to meet her secret penpal. She was so happy to feel confident again, that she became more social without the need to meet him.  What a great and true story Mary!!!
