Can eyelid surgery be combined with other cosmetic procedures?

Embarking on a journey to improve one’s appearance can often involve exploring the possibilities offered by cosmetic procedures, such as an eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty. It has gained popularity for its minimal yet impactful improvement on the eye area. However, the pursuit of comprehensive and harmonious facial changes leads many to question whether eyelid surgery can be seamlessly combined with other cosmetic procedures. 

In this blog, Artiste Plastic Surgery will share advantages of eyelid surgery, considerations to keep in mind, and popular cosmetic surgery combinations in achieving different aesthetic goals.

Advantages of Eyelid Surgery

Blepharoplasty surgery presents a range of benefits for those seeking to improve their eye area. By removing excess skin and fat, the procedure effectively diminishes puffiness, resulting in a refreshed appearance. Beyond aesthetic improvements, eyelid surgery can address functional concerns, such as improved vision by correcting sagging upper eyelid skin. 

Considerations in Getting Eyelid Surgery

Before embarking on the journey of eyelid surgery, careful consideration of various factors is paramount. A thorough health assessment is crucial to determine if you’re a good candidate for an eyelid surgery.  It involves discussion of medical history and existing conditions with the surgeon through a GP referral. 

It is also imperative to establish realistic expectations regarding the outcomes, acknowledging the procedure’s limitations and potential risks associated with it. Planning for an adequate recovery period after eyelid surgery and adhering to post-operative care instructions are essential components in ensuring a successful and satisfactory experience with eyelid surgery.

Popular Cosmetic Surgery Combinations with Eyelid Surgery

1. Facelift and Eyelid Surgery

Combining a facelift with eyelid surgery is a potent strategy for achieving comprehensive facial harmony. While eyelid surgery brightens up the eye area by eliminating excess skin and puffiness, a facelift concurrently addresses sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and overall facial ageing. This harmonious collaboration results in a more youthful, balanced, and natural-looking result.

2. Brow Lift and Eyelid Surgery

The fusion of a brow lift with eyelid surgery is ideal for those focused on their upper facial region. Eyelid surgery targets the eyes, reducing signs of ageing, while a brow lift addresses sagging eyebrows and forehead wrinkles. This combination achieves a harmonious, balanced outcome, delivering a refreshed appearance to the entire upper face.

3. Non-Surgical Treatments

Opting for non-surgical treatments like injections to minimise wrinkles and add volume, alongside eyelid surgery provides a customisable solution for diverse aesthetic goals. While eyelid surgery addresses structural concerns around the eyes, non-surgical treatments can fine-tune the overall facial contour. This combination is particularly suitable for those seeking subtle changes to achieve a refreshed look without the need for a full facelift.
