Enhance Facial Harmony by Combining Your Facelift with Other Procedures
While some patients may achieve their desired results with a single isolated procedure, sometimes it is better to combine multiple procedures together. For example, a facelift on its own can treat certain signs of aging, but combining a facelift with other procedures may provide even more optimal results. Here we’ll discuss some of the most complementary treatments for facelift surgery that can help you achieve a more harmonious and balanced outcome.
The following procedures can all work synergistically with a facelift: a brow lift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, BOTOX® Cosmetic, and dermal fillers.
Brow Lift
A brow lift is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the upper face. The surgeon lifts and tightens the skin and muscles of the forehead, removing excess skin where necessary. This softens any lines and wrinkles that have developed and restores a more youthful appearance.
How a Brow Lift Can Enhance Facelift Results: A brow lift can enhance the results of a facelift because it offers more targeted correction of the upper face. A facelift’s primary goal is to lift and tighten the mid-face and lower face, so combining these procedures together could provide even more dramatic improvements to your overall facial contour.
Neck Lift
A neck lift is a procedure specifically designed to address sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle banding in the neck area. By tightening the underlying muscles and removing excess skin and fat, a neck lift can create a smoother, more defined neck contour.
How a Neck Lift Can Enhance Facelift Results: Most facelift candidates also have some signs of visible neck aging, and treating the face without also treating the neck may yield lackluster results. By addressing both facial and neck aging signs, the overall rejuvenation becomes more comprehensive, ensuring a more harmonious and balanced outcome.
Eyelid Surgery
Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery focuses on rejuvenating the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. This procedure can correct droopy eyelids, remove excess skin and fat deposits, and eliminate puffiness or bags under the eyes.
How Eyelid Surgery Can Enhance Facelift Results: A facelift on its own can provide some brightening effects to the eye area. However, for patients who have significant eyelid sagging or bags under the eyes, getting an eyelid lift along with a facelift offers a more complete facial rejuvenation. Because the eyes are the focal point of the face, making sure they look their best along with the rest of the face yields a more harmonious transformation. This combination can provide a much more refreshed, alert, and youthful look.
BOTOX® Cosmetic
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a popular non-surgical treatment that effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in the upper face and eye area. It is popularly injected to treat frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet wrinkles at the corners of the eyes. BOTOX® Cosmetic is also used as a regular touch-up treatment to maintain a youthful brow and eye appearance.
How BOTOX® Cosmetic Can Enhance Facelift Results: Many people who get a facelift will see significant benefits to the eye area even without getting BOTOX® Cosmetic injections. However, some candidates may need additional smoothing of the forehead and brow area. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections can provide subtle, yet meaningful smoothing of upper face wrinkles and can help facelift candidates achieve even better results. Regular BOTOX® Cosmetic injections may be recommended to help maintain a youthful appearance after facelift surgery.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable substances that restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They can be used to plump up hollowed areas, soften nasolabial folds, and add fullness to the lips and cheeks.
How Dermal Fillers Can Enhance Facelift Results: While a facelift primarily addresses sagging skin and tissue, dermal fillers can also restore volume and create more youthful facial contours. By strategically placing fillers in specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks or under the eyes, it is possible to achieve a more balanced and harmonious rejuvenation than with a facelift alone. Regular filler injections may be recommended to help maintain a youthful appearance after facelift surgery.
If you are interested in getting a facelift, consider how you might benefit from combining your facelift with one or more of these complementary procedures. The right combination of procedures could greatly enhance your facial harmony and help you achieve the balanced and youthful appearance you desire.
