What are the Best Cosmetic Procedures to Combine with a Facelift?

Planning a facelift is a big decision, and you want to make sure you're getting the best outcomes possible. So, is it possible to combine facelift surgery with another procedure? Yes! In fact, more patients are choosing to pair their facelift with eyelid surgery, brow lift, or facial fat grafting for optimal results. 

 At Alford Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Eugene Alford, a double-board certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, helps patients create personalized treatment plans when it comes to facial rejuvenation. Book a consultation in Houston, TX to discuss which combination of treatments is right for you. 

Why combine cosmetic procedures? 

There are a number of reasons why patients choose to combine their facelift with another procedure. These include:  

• A single recovery period: Combining surgeries means you only have to go through one healing process instead of multiple. 
• Cost savings: You can often save on facility and anesthesia fees by having two procedures done at the same time. 
• More balanced results: When treating the entire face at once, Dr. Gene can ensure areas are addressed proportionally for natural-looking facial rejuvenation. 

Looking at facelift before and after photos helps patients understand what's possible when two procedures are done at the same time. During a consultation in Houston, TX, we can provide examples and discuss realistic expectations for your case. 

What procedures do you offer with a facelift? 

A facelift primarily addresses sagging skin and wrinkles on the lower two-thirds of the face. To achieve more comprehensive results, Dr. Gene may recommend pairing it with one or more of the following:  

• Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty): Eyelid surgery corrects drooping eyelids and removes excess skin, muscle, and fat around the upper and lower eyelids. This revitalizes the area around the eyes. 
• Brow lift: A brow lift elevates the brows to a more youthful position and smoothes frown lines across the forehead. It can also help reduce the appearance of heaviness above the eyes. 
• Fat grafting: Also called a facial fat transfer, this involves harvesting fat from one area of the body and injecting it into areas of the face that have lost volume, such as the cheeks or temples. 

When experience matters 

It's normal to feel nervous about any kind of surgery, but combining procedures requires an especially skilled and experienced surgeon. A qualified professional can ensure the surgeries are done safely and effectively. 

Dr. Gene is one of only a few doctors in the Houston area with more than 30 years of experience in facial plastics. His double-board certification and decades of practice mean you're in expert hands. During an appointment, we can explain our process in detail, show facelift before and after photos, and ensure you feel confident before moving forward.
