Many patients ask about the possibility of undergoing multiple procedures in a single surgery. These are referred to as combined surgeries, and they offer an excellent opportunity to enhance your overall results, especially when targeting multiple areas of the face or body.
Why Consider Combined Surgeries?
When patients bring in photographs of desired results, they often focus on a specific feature, such as the nose. However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that other features like the cheeks, chin, or brows contribute to the overall look in the wish picture. By combining procedures, such as rhinoplasty with a brow lift or eyelid surgery, we can achieve a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance.
Common Facial Combinations
Combining facial surgeries is safe and effective when done correctly. For example, rhinoplasty can be combined with procedures like:
- Upper or lower eyelid surgery to address puffiness or excess skin
- Brow lift to improve forehead and eyebrow position
- Temporal lift to uplift the eyes, brows, forehead, and temple for a fresher, livelier look
- Face lift and neck lift to turn back the clock by tightening and lifting the skin and underlying muscles for a rejuvenated look
These combinations often take a little more time in surgery, but they can significantly improve the overall result, helping patients look and feel their best.
Safety Considerations
While combining surgeries offers many benefits, patient safety is our top priority. For facial procedures, combined surgeries are usually well-tolerated and safe, especially when they remain within a reasonable timeframe. However, extensive procedures that require more than 6-7 hours, such as combining major body surgeries, may pose higher risks. In such cases, we recommend spacing out the surgeries for optimal safety and recovery.
Combining Facial and Body Surgeries
It is also possible to combine certain body surgeries with facial procedures. For instance, breast augmentation or a breast lift can be safely combined with a facial surgery like rhinoplasty, especially if rib cartilage graft will be used. However, combining extensive surgeries like liposuction with facial surgeries is not recommended due to the extended surgery time and increased risk of complications.
