Khun Net, Age 69 — Case Review

Khun Net traveled from Chicago to undergo a facelift with Dr. Jay. As she prepared to marry her younger partner, she decided that she wanted to take care of herself and make a positive change. She viewed the treatment as a gift both to herself and to her partner. Because of her age, Khun Net and her partner had concerns about her health and the safety of surgery. After speaking with Dr. Jay and learning about the hospital's surgical and postoperative-care processes, she felt sufficiently reassured to proceed. At follow-up appointments, Khun Net felt that her face looked progressively firmer. A natural-looking result remained especially important to her because she wanted to preserve the features and individuality that her partner already loved. She wanted to look refreshed without appearing unfamiliar or unlike herself.
