When our 52-year-old patient came in to see Dr. Godley, she pointed to her jawline and said, “Can you do anything about this?” She felt her jawline had changed more in the past two years than in the ten years before that. Botox still helped, but it was no longer giving the same “oomph” she enjoyed in her forties.

“The most meaningful part of a thread lift is seeing how the skin responds in the months that follow. It is not only about the initial lift but about the skin rebuilding itself. Patients often notice that their results continue to improve over time, which is exactly what we aim for in regenerative medicine.”

A couple of years ago, I started wondering if a facelift was in my future.

I wasn’t unhappy with how I looked. But I was starting to notice changes that skincare, Botox, and clean eating just weren’t helping with anymore. My face felt heavier, especially in the lower half. I’ve always had chubbier cheeks, and over time, it felt like they were pulling everything down. I’d catch my reflection and think, when did this happen?
