Four of the Most Popular Procedures to Combine With Your Facelift
When patients come in for a facelift consultation, they often have questions about other procedures that can further improve their results. A facelift tightens and lifts the lower portions of the face, but a single procedure can only accomplish so much. Patients concerned about their eyes, forehead, neck, or other facial regions may benefit from an additional treatment. Here are a few examples of the popular treatments that combine well with a facelift.
Brow Lift
A brow lift (or forehead lift) tightens the skin on the forehead that may have begun to sag with age, causing a sad or angry look. Eyebrows can also begin to droop, and this procedure restores them to a more youthful position. Adding a brow lift can further improve the results of a facelift by targeting upper as well as lower parts of the face.
Neck Lift
Thin, sagging skin of the throat is a telltale sign of aging, and wrinkles in the chin and neck can sometimes appear more obvious after a facelift. Fortunately, it is easy to add a neck lift for patients who have more skin and wrinkles in this area. If a receding chin is contributing to sagging skin in the neck, a chin augmentation can provide more support to the newly tightened skin and prevent future wrinkles.
Eyelid Surgery/Blepharoplasty
Don’t be intimidated by the term blepharoplasty. This complicated-sounding procedure is actually a relatively simple removal of excess skin around the eyes. This surgery removes sagging skin from the upper eyelids, bags or puffy skin from the lower eyelids, or both. This creates a natural, well-rested appearance that will complement the fresh look of your facelift.
Lip Enhancement
Over time, lips naturally lose volume. A facelift provides the perfect opportunity to try lip fillers, creating a plump and youthful appearance that can delay the creation of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Fillers are temporary, lasting from six months to a year, but we also offer permanent cheek implants.
