Your facial tissues change with age. Skin thins and loses elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid, allowing lines and wrinkles to tarnish your once smooth appearance. Fat deposits in the cheeks shrink and descend lower, causing jowling. Facial plastic surgeries can address these concerns, but each procedure focuses on specific regions of the face. Combining face procedures, such as facelift and eyelid surgery or rhinoplasty and chin implants, offers more dramatic results for an overall youthful complexion.
Dr. Ary Krau is a board-certified plastic surgeon renowned for his surgical skill and expertise. He was featured on the Bravo TV series "Miami Slice" and takes pride in helping patients achieve their results. Dr. Krau is known for his patient-first approach and sees patients from consultation to their last follow-up, answering questions along the way to ensure excellent, safe outcomes. Depending on your facial concerns and anatomy, he may recommend one or more face procedures to achieve your desired results.
Combining multiple procedures into a single surgery has many benefits, including:
1. Complete Facial Rejuvenation
Facelift focuses on the mid-face, lower face, jawline, and neck. Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) addresses the upper and lower eyelids, while rhinoplasty alters the nose. Fat transfer can restore youthful volume to the cheeks, and neck lift provides a graceful contour. Each of these procedures offers unique benefits, and combining two or more can help you achieve your cosmetic goals all at once.
Facelift, neck lift, and eyelid surgery can achieve total facial rejuvenation by addressing several age-related concerns simultaneously. Non-surgical treatments can further improve your results with Botox for forehead lines. Rhinoplasty and chin implants are complementary procedures that can be combined to balance your facial features by adjusting their proportions.
2. Save Time and Money with Combination Plastic Surgery
Streamlining your face procedures into a single surgery means you only need to recover once. Combination plastic surgery allows patients to take less time off overall because they're not scheduling several procedures over one to two years with several weeks off to recover each time. While recovering from facelift and eyelid surgery or another combination may take longer, you still save time by having the procedure performed at the same time.
Combining face procedures saves you some money as well because you only pay certain fees once. The costs for the plastic surgeon, anesthesiologist, surgical facility, and recovery garments are a one-time expense instead of repeated two or three times for separate surgeries.
3. Fewer Risks and Complications
Dr. Krau works to reduce the rate of complications as much as possible. He performs procedures at our onsite, state-of-the-art, fully accredited surgical center. However, every surgery comes with inherent risks, especially when general anesthesia is involved. A single surgery that combines several face procedures means you only go under general anesthesia once, which lowers your risk of anesthesia-related problems. Multiple surgeries and rounds of anesthesia provide more opportunities for complications to arise.
