Before & After Gallery

Meet Laura, Age 56

Laura came to see us all the way from the Midwest after years of searching for the right solution. She wanted rejuvenation that looked natural and restorative, not extreme.

Now, just three months after her EnigmaLift® facial rejuvenation, she’s already healing beautifully and looking incredible.

Laura’s Journey Before Surgery

Like many patients, Laura was first offered Morpheus (a type of RF microneedling) by a med spa. She was told it could replace surgery, so she invested in three full rounds to tighten her skin.

The results?

• Zero improvement
• Tissue contraction and contour depression under her eyes
• Frustration that she’d wasted time and money

From there, Laura pursued multiple surgical consults. One surgeon even suggested removing a large section of forehead skin, warning her that it would leave her permanently numb.

Understandably, she left thinking that surgery wasn't for her.

Finding the Right Fit

Eventually, Laura found her way to us at Clinic 5C.

At her consultation, I noticed something rare:
Her face showed normal, undistorted aging, nothing overfilled, nothing unnatural, just the one area under her eyes that had been affected by the RF microneedling.

That’s when we knew EnigmaLift® could give her the balanced, restorative outcome she deserved.

Our Surgical Plan

We designed a minimally invasive, full face EnigmaLift® rejuvenation that addressed every contour, from brow to neck, with hidden access points and stealth techniques.

Here’s what we performed:

• Brow contouring
• Upper eyelid surgery (rebalancing areas of excess and hollowing)
• Scarless lower eyelid surgery with fat pad reconnection for natural contour
• Scarless ptosis repair
• Scarless Midface lift
• Preservation-style, minimal access deep plane facelift
• Deep neck lift and contouring to re-elevate the jawline and floor of the mouth
• LoveLift® deep plane lip lift and corner lift

This wasn’t about transformation. It was about restoration through her own regenerative power.

The Results So Far

At three months post-op, Laura is:

• Healing beautifully
• Enjoying refreshed contours, especially around the cheeks and lower lids
• Thrilled to see natural improvement where prior treatments failed

And her results will only continue to refine as her recovery progresses.
