Facelift, Neck Lift, and Facial Fat Grafting in Beverly Hills

Beautifully herself, and lighting up the room with her smile.

This patient underwent a personalized facelift, neck lift, facial fat grafting, and forehead Botox with Dr. Elie Ramly at Ramly Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills.

Her goal was meaningful face and neck rejuvenation with a natural appearance: a more defined jawline, improved neck contours, and restored facial volume while preserving her distinctive features and avoiding a “pulled” look.

These photographs document an early postoperative result. Healing and refinement will continue over the coming months.

Case at a Glance

• Treating surgeon: Elie Ramly, MD

• Practice: Ramly Plastic Surgery, Beverly Hills, California

• Procedures: Facelift, neck lift, facial fat grafting, and forehead Botox

• Patient goals: Natural feminine face and neck rejuvenation with preservation of facial identity

• Result shown: Early postoperative appearance; healing is ongoing

The Patient’s Goals

The patient wanted to refresh her face and neck while continuing to look like herself. Preserving her individual facial characteristics was central to the treatment plan.

Her goals included:

• Improving jawline definition and lower facial contours.

• Reducing the appearance of loose tissue beneath the chin and along the neck.

• Restoring facial volume and softness.

• Softening forehead lines.

• Avoiding an overly tight or pulled appearance.

The plan considered these concerns together, with attention to the relationship between her cheeks, jawline, and neckline.

A Personalized Approach to Feminine Facial Rejuvenation

Feminine facial rejuvenation is individual. For this patient, the goal was to restore definition while retaining the softness and proportions that belonged naturally to her face.

Dr. Ramly combined treatments with distinct purposes: facelift and neck lift surgery addressed facial and neck contours, facial fat grafting addressed volume restoration, and Botox addressed forehead expression lines.

The emphasis was on a cohesive result across the face and neck, with each treatment contributing to her overall goals.

What Each Treatment Contributed

Facelift: Refining the Lower Face and Jawline

The facelift component focused on age-related changes in facial tissue position and lower facial definition. The intended result was a more refreshed contour that respected her existing facial proportions.

Neck Lift: Improving the Contour Beneath the Jaw

The neck lift complemented the facelift by addressing the neckline and the transition beneath the chin and jaw. Treating the lower face and neck together allowed these adjacent areas to be considered as a whole.

Facial Fat Grafting: Restoring Volume and Softness

Facial fat grafting was included to restore volume as part of her rejuvenation. In this treatment plan, volume restoration complemented the contour changes achieved through lifting.

Forehead Botox: Softening Expression Lines

Forehead Botox was included to soften expression lines in the upper face. It served a separate purpose from the facelift, neck lift, and fat grafting.

Before and After Results

The photographs show a more defined lower facial contour, an improved neckline, and a refreshed overall appearance.

The three-quarter view helps illustrate the relationship between the cheek, jawline, and neck. The downward-looking photographs provide an additional view of the tissues beneath the chin in that particular position.

In the frontal comparison, the patient is smiling in the postoperative photograph and has a more neutral expression before surgery. Expression, head position, lighting, and makeup can affect how facial contours and skin appear; the photographs should be interpreted with those differences in mind.

These images document an early stage of recovery. Residual swelling and ongoing healing can affect the appearance of facial volume, contours, and incisions.

The Ramly Method: Preserving What Makes Each Face Unique

The Ramly Method is Dr. Ramly’s philosophy of individualized facial rejuvenation: understanding the patient’s anatomy, identifying the changes they want to address, and tailoring treatment around their features and goals.

In this case, that meant coordinating lifting, volume restoration, and forehead treatment with a clear priority: rejuvenating her appearance while respecting her facial identity and feminine characteristics.
