Combining a Facelift with Eyelid Surgery: What are the Advantages?
When placed in the hands of a skilled, experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, combining multiple plastic surgery procedures into one session can provide serious advantages for patients who are healthy enough to undergo a combination procedure. One such combination procedure that is among the most commonly done is combining a facelift with eyelid surgery. However, many patients may not be aware of exactly how undergoing a combination plastic surgery can help them.
Facial aging can take on many forms. Combining these two procedures allows me to help patients minimize visible signs of aging like wrinkles, loose skin, and lost volume from the upper and lower portions of their face. In addition to achieving the great, long-lasting results that would not be possible by undergoing just one of these procedures without the other, combining these cosmetic surgery procedures can also provide other unique advantages. By having both surgeries at one time, patients are able to greatly reduce the amount of downtime needed to fully recover after surgery. Combining a facelift with eyelid surgery can also help limit the costs associated with plastic surgery by cutting out the need for additional anesthesia and operating room fees that would be incurred from undergoing these procedures separately.
In the following video, I discuss the advantages that combining a facelift with eyelid surgery can provide patients who seek comprehensive facial rejuvenation:
While I cannot guarantee that combining these surgeries into one combined procedure will be the best option for every patient (this is something we will discuss during your pre-surgery consultation appointment), I have seen firsthand the amazing results and unique advantages this surgical approach is able to provide.
