Combined Facial Procedures
Overview
For patients seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation, combining procedures such as facelift, eyelid surgery, and brow lift in a single operation can achieve harmonious results while minimising overall recovery time.
This approach is tailored to selected cases where multiple areas contribute to the overall appearance and addressing them together provides the best outcome. It allows for a holistic improvement, ensuring that one rejuvenated area doesn’t make adjacent untreated areas look older by contrast.
What to Expect
Combined facial procedures are performed under general anaesthetic. The extent and combination of procedures is determined during consultation based on your anatomy, concerns, and overall health. Recovery involves swelling and bruising that peaks at 2-3 days and progressively settles over 2-3 weeks. Patients typically return to social activities at 2-3 weeks, with final results visible at 3-6 months. Not all patients are suitable for combined procedures; this is assessed individually.

Our Services
Facelift with Eyelid Surgery
Combines rejuvenation of the lower face/neck with upper or lower blepharoplasty. This addresses jowls and neck laxity alongside tired or heavy eyes for a balanced, refreshed appearance.
Facelift with Brow Lift
Addresses the entire face from forehead to neck. Lifting the brow opens the upper face, while the facelift restores the mid and lower face contours, ensuring the upper and lower face age in harmony.
Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery
Simultaneously corrects heavy, hooded upper lids and bags or hollowing in the lower lids. This combination provides a complete reset for the eye area in a single recovery period.
Full Face Rejuvenation
A tailored combination which may include facelift, neck lift, blepharoplasty, and brow surgery. This is reserved for patients requiring comprehensive correction of ageing changes across all facial zones.
Facelift with Fat Transfer
Combine the structural lifting of a facelift with volume restoration using your own fat. This addresses both sagging tissues and the volume loss (deflation) that occurs with ageing, offering a softer, more youthful result.
Before & After
FAQs
Am I a good candidate for combined procedures?
Suitability depends on your overall health, the procedures being considered, and expected operative time. This is assessed during consultation.
Is recovery longer with combined procedures?
Recovery is longer than a single procedure but shorter than having each procedure separately with individual recovery periods.
Is it safe to combine multiple surgeries?
For appropriate candidates, combining procedures is safe and commonly performed. Operative time and complexity are carefully considered.
Will the results look natural?
Combined procedures allow us to balance multiple areas together, often achieving more natural harmony than addressing areas in isolation.
How do I decide what to include?
During consultation, we assess which areas contribute most to your concerns and discuss the benefits and practicalities of combining versus staging procedures.
