Wanting to refresh the look of their face is a common request from my cosmetic surgery patients. Every part of the body will experience signs of aging over time, but since our faces are such a prominent part of our appearance, it’s no wonder why this is such a pressing concern for so many people. And while procedures like facelift and eyelid surgery can often provide outstanding aesthetic results, they can be even more powerful when combined into one combo procedure. Allow me to explain the many benefits of combining a facelift with eyelid surgery.

The effects of natural aging can impact a person’s entire face and certain cosmetic facial procedures are intended to treat specific areas. For example, facelift surgery is specifically designed to address age signs in the lower portion of the face (around the mouth, chin, and neck), whereas eyelid surgery focuses on the areas around the eyes. By combining these two procedures into one session, I am able to provide more comprehensive and thorough rejuvenation for the entire face. This includes reducing wrinkles, removing loose skin, addressing lax facial muscles, and restoring lost volume from the upper and lower portions of their face. Additionally, combining surgeries can help reduce my patient’s overall recovery time and surgical costs when compared to having the procedures performed separately.

In the video below, I discuss in detail how facelift surgery and eyelid surgery are able to complement each other so well:

While it’s true that every patient is different and this combined approach to plastic surgery may not be right for everyone, combining a facelift with eyelid surgery can provide incredible facial rejuvenation.
