Chin Surgery

If you frequent this blog, you’re probably well aware of the mommy makeover and the incredible benefits that this combination plastic surgery procedure can provide. However, many people may not realize that this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as plastic surgery combinations go. When performed by an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, combining multiple procedures into one surgery can be an excellent way for patients to achieve more comprehensive aesthetic results while cutting back on surgical costs and recovery time. Today I thought it would be instructive to detail a few of the less talked about (but still highly beneficial) plastic surgery combinations that I perform.

Facelift + Eyelid Surgery

Aging can affect the face in many ways, and more specifically, in different areas of the face and body. However, combining a facelift with eyelid surgery can help address common age signs like wrinkles, lines, volume loss, and loose skin in both the upper and lower portions of the face. Combining these two procedures can rejuvenate the face by reducing wrinkles, removing loose skin, addressing lax facial muscles, correcting droopy eyelids, and restoring volume where it has been lost.

Breast Reduction + Breast Lift

Undergoing a breast reduction and breast lift together can help women achieve a more modest, natural-looking, and perkier breast contour than they desire. In fact, it’s somewhat rare for women who undergo a breast reduction not to also have their new breasts lifted in order to ensure that their breasts are properly positioned following surgery. During this combined procedure, excess tissue is removed from the breast, and then the remaining breast tissue is surgically lifted to a more natural position for the patient’s body.

Chin Surgery + Rhinoplasty

The balance of a person’s facial features can be delicate, meaning that when one feature is altered with surgery, the face may require additional assistance to maintain balance and symmetry. This is why it is fairly common for patients to combine rhinoplasty with chin surgery, in order to achieve a more balanced, rejuvenated appearance.

While the combined surgery approach may not be right for every patient, there is no denying the immense benefits that it can provide in many cases. It’s important to have a thorough discussion with your board-certified plastic surgeon before making any final decisions regarding your procedure options.
