A Deep Plane Facelift at 39 in El Paso: Which Deep Plane, Who Takes the Drain Out, and What Happens When the Surgeon Is Abroad

November 02, 2026 | Facelift, Facial Rejuvenation, Neck Lift

A former Bachelor Australia contestant, 39, had a deep plane facelift in Istanbul through a medical tourism agency and was out shopping in bandages two days later. No diagnosis of her. The surgical questions underneath: is 39 too young, which deep plane fits a face with little extra skin, and who removes the drain on day five when the surgeon is on another continent.

The 18-Month Facelift: What Holds, What Drifts, and When to Judge Your Result

October 30, 2026 | Facelift, Facial Rejuvenation, Neck Lift

Kris Jenner’s premiere photos in Rome, about eighteen months after her facelift, put the result clock back in the news. I am not diagnosing her. I am answering the question my own patients ask at week three, month three and month twelve: when is this the real result? Here is the settling timeline, what holds, what drifts, and why I photograph at twelve months and judge at eighteen.

Filler Migration, Over-Treatment, or the Wrong Photo: What I Check Before I Dissolve, Graft, or Lift

October 28, 2026 | Facelift, Facial Rejuvenation, Fat Transfer

The Megan Fox posts started from a year-old interview and at least one photo that may be AI-altered. I do not diagnose anyone from a screenshot. Here is what I check in the room: whether a puffy area is soft and gone by lunch or firm and sitting next to where the filler went, why old filler keeps swelling, what overfilled means, why a frozen forehead is a dosing problem, and when I stop dissolving and start grafting or lifting.

FaceAge and the Facelift: What an AI Reads in Your Photo, and What Surgery Actually Changes

October 25, 2026 | Facelift, Fat Transfer, Patient Safety

A Harvard model trained on more than 40 million faces can read biological age from a photo, and in about 38,000 patients those who looked five years older than their age had a 21 percent higher risk of death. It looks at the temples, the folds beside the nose and the forehead. Here is what I treat in each of those places, why I graft fat into every facelift, why nicotine shows in a photo, and what a lift resets and what it does not.

The Younger Facelift Patient in the GLP-1 Era: What I See in El Paso, and What I Tell Them

October 23, 2026 | Facelift, Fat Transfer, Weight Loss

Plastic Surgery Practice reports that facelift patients are arriving in their 30s and 40s after GLP-1 weight loss. I see the same thing: the face and neck are the first place the weight shows, I now do three or four of these a week, and the deep plane and ponytail lifts have become my most common post-GLP-1 operations. Here is what I tell the younger patient about timing, fat versus filler, and which lift fits.

Where Facelift Scars Hide: The Incision Map Behind the Salma Hayek Argument

October 21, 2026 | Facelift, Facial Procedures, Scar Healing

A viral reel this week pointed at “surgical scars” on an actress who says she has had no surgery. Dr. Frank Agullo will not referee that from a photo, but he can show you exactly where he puts a facelift incision, why a healed one is nearly impossible to find, and which facelift leaves nothing in front of the ear at all.
