Typically, the signs of aging impact more than one area of the face at a time, which means that many patients have concerns about the appearance of multiple regions of their face. By combining facial rejuvenation procedures, you can effectively and efficiently address many of your concerns simultaneously.
At MacDonald Plastic Surgery in Vancouver, Dr. Jeannie MacDonald can help you determine which combination of facial rejuvenation treatments will best suit your individual needs.
Different Procedures for Different Areas
Facelift
Facelifts are often referred to as the gold standard of facial rejuvenation procedures. However, facelifts do not address all areas of the face equally. Typically, facelifts correct the signs of aging on the middle and lower facial regions. Facelifts address excess skin and fat and tighten the skin and tissues to create a smoother and younger-looking appearance, including:
- Sagging skin
- Deepening lines between the nose and mouth
- Jowls in the cheeks and jaws
- Fat that has shifted
- Loose skin or excess fat on the neck
Eyelid Lift Surgery
Eyelid lift surgery, or blepharoplasty, helps enhance the appearance of droopy upper eyelids or puffy lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty can rejuvenate tired and older-looking eyes and produce a wide awake and youthful appearance. As a facial rejuvenation procedure, eyelid lift surgery can dramatically enhance the overall facial appearance, including:
- Loose or sagging skin that interrupts natural upper eyelid contour, impairing vision
- Fatty deposits causing puffy-looking eyelids
- Bags beneath the eyes
- Drooping lower eyelids that reveal white below the iris
- Excess skin and fine wrinkles on the lower eyelid
Benefits of Combining Procedures
Apart from pairing an eyelid lift with a brow lift to rejuvenate the upper facial region, there are several benefits to combining facelift and eyelid lift surgery. Combining these procedures can significantly reduce the signs of aging on the upper, middle, and lower areas of the face, producing remarkable results. By rejuvenating all areas of your face at once, your entire appearance will be revitalized, and your results will appear more natural-looking.
Undergoing the two procedures simultaneously means that you will only have one surgery, one recovery, and you’ll see your results much quicker. Another benefit to combining your procedures is the reduced cost, as you would not have to pay facility or anesthesia fees multiple times.
