Patient Details
If you want to feel your best in photos you’ll keep forever, a wedding is a meaningful reason to plan ahead. A natural facelift lifts the deeper tissues instead of pulling the skin tight, so you look rested and like yourself, not “done.” Give yourself several months before the big day so swelling can settle.
This 54-year-old patient’s daughter was getting married, and she wanted to look and feel beautiful in photos that would last forever. She felt she was starting to look tired and worn out, even though she didn’t feel that way, and her biggest fear was looking overdone on such an important day.
Dr. Joseph Cruise performed a facelift, which lifts and repositions the sagging tissues of the cheeks and jowls, along with a neck lift to tighten the neck and define the jawline. He added upper eyelid surgery, which removes excess skin from the upper lids to open up tired-looking eyes.
“My daughter’s wedding was coming up and I was feeling like I needed a little refresher. I felt that I was starting to look tired and worn out, but I was not feeling tired and worn out. I was very worried about having a facelift as I did not want to look overdone. Most people just think I lost weight and tell me I look great. I love looking at the photos from my daughter’s wedding. The most important thing is that I still look like me, just a more refreshed version.”
On the wedding day, she looked rested and radiant, and she still looked like herself. That balance is at the heart of Dr. Cruise’s approach. As the author of “Aging on Your Terms” with more than two decades in facial rejuvenation, he plans every face individually, and patients come to the practice from across the country and around the world.
Have a wedding or milestone coming up and want to feel like yourself in the photos? Every face ages differently, so there is no one-size-fits-all plan. Dr. Cruise meets with you in person at our Newport Beach office to study your facial structure, hear your goals, and create a personalized plan with the right timing for your big day.
