How Our Patient Took Years Off Her Face After a SMAS Facelift with Blepharoplasty & Submental Liposuction
Facial Rejuvenation Snapshot
A patient came into Dr. Philip Miller’s office wanting to tighten sagging skin, smooth wrinkles, improve her facial contours, and lift her drooping eyebrows. With his NatraLook® Approach, Dr. Miller performed a facelift, upper lid blepharoplasty, submental liposuction, and fat injections to enhance her overall appearance.
Patient Story
Dr. Miller’s 52-year-old female patient came to the office concerned about sagging skin, deep wrinkles, lost facial volume, and drooping eyebrows. She was unhappy with the visible signs of aging that had gradually affected her confidence and self-esteem. With Dr. Miller’s expertise, she wanted to reverse the signs of aging, improve her facial contours, and regain a more youthful and refreshed look to enhance her overall sense of well-being.
Dr. Miller’s Expert Assessment
Utilizing his proprietary NatraLook Approach, Dr. Miller meticulously crafted a personalized plan designed to harmonize his patient's perception, preferences, and suggestions with his expert evaluation and recommendations. The patient’s plan focused on lifting her brows for a more youthful, defined arch, smoothing forehead lines, lightening dark under-eye circles, and tightening the mid-to-lower face.

Tailored Treatment Roadmap
After discussing various treatment options, Dr. Miller and his patient decided to rejuvenate her appearance with a combination of treatments: a SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) facelift to address sagging skin and enhance facial contours, upper lid blepharoplasty to rejuvenate the eyes, submental liposuction to refine the jawline, and strategically placed fat injections to restore lost volume and achieve natural-looking results.
Rejuvenated Results
With the NatraLook Approach, Dr. Miller effectively addressed each of his patient’s aesthetic concerns, delivering the natural-looking results she craved. She has since enjoyed rejuvenated eyebrows, refreshed eyes, and tighter, younger-looking skin along her midface and jawline. The skin beneath her eyes now appears brighter and smoother, visibly reducing the dark circles that had previously been a concern.
The NatraLook Difference
Dr. Miller’s collaborative NatraLook Approach ensured that he remained aligned with his client’s expectations throughout the planning, treatment, and recovery process. His patient felt confident that Dr. Miller understood and respected her aesthetic desires. The unified vision that she and Dr. Miller created together fostered a sense of assurance about the outcomes that significantly minimized the stress and anxiety typically associated with surgery. The transparency of their partnership allowed her to focus on her journey toward a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance with a relaxed and positive mindset.
