Nearly twenty years after recounting her first foray under the knife in the pages of Vogue, author Joan Gage takes stock of what still looks great, what needs a little modern intervention (Fraxel repair), and how times have changed.
Based on my personal experience with Fraxel repair (similar to my esteemed colleague in Massachusetts, Min S. Ahn, M.D. who is the treating facial plastic surgeon featured in this article) since it was unveiled in January 2008, I agree with everything in the article except Daniel C. Baker, M.D.’s opinion that “laser procedures are less enduring and more expensive, in the long run, than surgery.”
As the author, Ms. Gage concludes, “But now, a year post-Fraxel (repair), my skin is still free of discoloration and has fewer and less obvious fine lines; the pull lines on my jaw are entirely gone, and the eyelid scars (from previous blepharoplasty) are almost invisible….All in all, I’m pleased with the result which has left my husband (who’s a year older than I am) gallantly smiling when he gets comments about his “much younger” wife.”
Fraxel repair is an excellent treatment for patients who have had facelift surgery in the past, and do not wish to undergo surgery again.
