Are you looking to get plastic surgery but unsure if it can be done all at once? It depends on what you want to have done. When you choose a facial plastic surgeon, make sure to ask them about this option.

Benefits of Combining Facial Plastic Surgery Procedures

There are several benefits to combining procedures. For one, it is more convenient and cuts down on time spent planning. Having two or more procedures at once also provides faster results. You may even save money since only one anesthesia fee and facility fee are required.

Popular Combinations

Some facial plastic surgery procedures are often done together. Others are not. If you are curious about the most common procedures to do at the same time, keep reading.

Facelift, Brow Lift, and Eyelid Surgery

The facial tissues and skin are rejuvenated and lifted with this procedure while the lower or upper eyelashes are refreshed. This combination of procedures makes a huge difference to the top half of the face.

Rhinoplasty and Chin Augmentation

On the other hand, chin augmentation and rhinoplasty focus on the lower half of the face. You can make your nose look the way you have always wanted while creating an aesthetically pleasing change to the chin at the same time.

Neck Lift and Liposuction

For a graceful neck that has a refined look, there is no better option than a neck lift and liposuction. Neck contouring can help reshape the chin while liposuction can take away excess fullness.

Creating a Customized Treatment Plan

One of the most important aspects of having two or more surgical procedures done at the same time is creating a customized treatment plan. Every person is different and the procedure that works best for you might be different than the ideal choice for the next patient.

Assessing Individual Needs and Goals

Your surgeon will first look into your goals with the surgeries and what you hope to achieve. This can give insight into whether you would be best served by having a combination of surgeries done at the same time.

Surgical Planning

The surgery will then be planned based on what will work best to meet your needs. The surgeon will consider what you want from the procedure and what expectations they can realistically offer to give you a look that you love.

Balancing Risks and Benefits

Sometimes, there will be too many risks to move forward. If that is the case, your surgery procedures may need to be done at different times. It is better to be safe and have multiple appointments than incur undue risk.

Your surgeon will balance the benefits and risks to determine how to move forward.

Realistic Expectations and Patient Satisfaction

Realistic expectations are essential for any patient who wishes to have facial plastic surgery. For instance, plastic surgery cannot make you look like someone else and it is not a good idea to have it done to please someone else.

Plastic surgery may not change your life but it can make you feel good about yourself. However, this is only possible when a patient is aware of what results to expect. Nobody is going to walk out of surgery looking perfect, but these procedures can make your face look more in line with what you want to see in the mirror.

Final Thoughts

Choosing to get a combination of facial plastic surgery procedures is more common than you might expect. However, knowing which procedures can be combined and what cannot is important. Reach out to Dr. Smith’s team to learn more.
