Facelift Before & After Case 671

This patient, age 64, underwent a combination of procedures performed by Cody Koch, MD, PhD: an Extended SMAS S-Lift, a Deep Plane Neck Lift with liposuction, bilateral upper blepharoplasty, and perioral laser resurfacing.

The after photo shows a more defined jaw and neck contour, a reduction in submental fullness, and less heaviness along the upper lids. The skin texture around the mouth appears smoother in comparison.

She is thrilled with her results, writing: "Fantastic - great changes in skin texture, neck and face smoothness!"

For those researching facelift in West Des Moines & Ames, this case illustrates how multiple areas of the face and neck can be addressed in a single surgical setting. Here, the combination included structural work at the SMAS layer of the face and deeper dissection in the neck, alongside upper eyelid surgery and laser treatment at the lip line.

Dr. Koch holds dual board certification in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
