Tartaglia, Age 67 — Case Review

Tartaglia Salvatore traveled from Australia. He had significant laxity across his face and neck, which made him feel less confident and older than he wanted to look. He decided to explore surgical treatment and eventually found Dr. Jay and The Art Plastic Surgery Hospital. The source describes Tartaglia's case as requiring particular consideration because he was a heavy smoker and had existing medical conditions. It also notes that his limited scalp hair made the appearance and placement of surgical scars especially important, because there would be little hair available to conceal them. After surgery, Tartaglia was pleased with the result. He felt that his face looked noticeably firmer, his neck appeared tighter, and the angle of his neck was more clearly defined. He was also satisfied with the appearance of the scars. Tartaglia said that he felt as though he looked 10 to 20 years younger.
