She would also like to address the hollowing beneath her eyes but has been hesitant about pursuing plastic surgery as her friends look too pulled and “scary”. She wants to look younger, more voluptuous, and recapture her “mojo”.

Patient 1

Patient is a 64-year-old female who desired to look younger and more beautiful. She specifically did not like the loss of definition of her neck and brow and had developed jowls and a downturned mouth which she felt made her look angry appearing.
