Facelift surgery is an essential facial rejuvenation procedure, but its results can be improved with other complementary surgeries and even non-surgical treatments. This blog will discuss the various procedures and treatments that can improve the results of your facelift.
Custom Facelifts for Best Results
At Center for Plastic Surgery, facelift surgery is always highly customized, suiting the needs and anatomy of the patient, rather than using a cookie-cutter approach. The experienced plastic surgeons at CPS always help patients choose a variety of facial enhancement procedures and treatments to better create cohesive and transformational results.
The signature Face360 program incorporates multiple approaches to facial enhancement—not just anti-aging procedures—to give patients the freedom to customize their procedures. From facelifts to rhinoplasty and laser resurfacing, patients at Center for Plastic Surgery receive highly curated surgical plans to suit their needs. Below are just some of the possible treatments that can help you reach all of your anti-aging and aesthetic goals.
Best Procedures for Facial Rejuvenation and Enhancement
Most people think that if you need anti-aging surgery like a facelift, you’ll really only want to combine it with other anti-aging procedures. But that’s not always the case because plastic surgery is about creating your ultimate aesthetic reality, not just addressing concerns. Below, we’ll discuss how each procedure can benefit facelift patients.
Eyelid Lift
Blepharoplasty, or an eyelid lift, is a fantastic procedure for patients with sagging upper eyelids or even puffy under eyes. This procedure is unique in that while it is usually considered anti-aging, it is also commonly performed on younger patients who have a genetic predisposition for under eye bags. An eyelid lift can instantly refresh the appearance of the eyes for a more alert and rested look.
Brow Lift
Brow lifts do more than smooth horizontal forehead wrinkles—by lifting the brows, the face is framed more aesthetically, with a more open, youthful expression. Brow lifts are an excellent option for the facelift patient who also exhibits a furrowed or heavy brow and who wants to have a lifted, more sculpted appearance.
Rhinoplasty
It may seem like an odd pairing, but combining your facelift with rhinoplasty is a fantastic opportunity to have a full face transformation. It can be hard to come to terms with your nose if you dislike its appearance. Such a prominent feature of the face can significantly impact your overall appearance and facial symmetry. Combining your facelift with rhinoplasty not only limits your recovery period to just one session, but you can experience a massive boost in self-confidence and joy at your new appearance.
Chin Augmentation
A balanced face is largely determined by the proportions of the chin and jawline. If you have an unproportionate or underdeveloped chin, facial aging can contribute to a lack of facial symmetry even more. Chin augmentation paired with a facelift allows your surgeon to bolster the structure of the chin first and then tighten the skin and tissues around it with the facelift. Subtle chin augmentation results can be achieved with fat grafting, while a more substantial result will be realized with an implant.
Sciton® Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing is a fantastic addition to any facial surgical plan, as smooth, blemish-free skin looks great on everyone. Either before or after your procedure, laser resurfacing treatments can prime the skin for surgery and continue to improve upon results by maintaining skin health. Additionally, the heat from the laser helps prompt collagen production for a continual boost of glowing, plump skin.
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting is the gold standard of volume restoration for facial rejuvenation patients. This procedure involves using liposuction to harvest fat from another part of your body and reinjecting it into specific areas of the face to restore lost volume. Fat grafting is a top choice for Center for Plastic Surgery facial rejuvenation patients, as it is a long-lasting alternative to dermal fillers that provides a natural-looking, restored face contour.
Dermal Fillers
Lastly, because facelifts do not restore volume, dermal fillers are like gold for augmenting areas that need a little extra boost, like the cheeks and lips. As we age, we lose volume that keeps the skin supple and supported—facelifts can displace and move fat for a better aesthetic, but for real volume increase, dermal fillers are the way to go. They are versatile and long-lasting but not permanent, and most formulas increase hydration to the skin.
