Facelift surgery is an effective procedure that can turn back the hands of time and rejuvenate your appearance. For many patients, achieving the best possible Facelift results involves a combination of treatments. Choosing treatments which are right for you and your aesthetic goals are key to a comprehensive and harmonious transformation.
As a reminder, Facelift surgery aims to:
- Improve deep lines and wrinkles on the face, such as smile lines
- Improve sagging of the cheeks and jawline
- Improve the appearance of the neck by tightening loose skin, removing excess fat, and smoothing away wrinkles and platysmal bands
As a Toronto plastic surgeon experienced in delivering natural-looking Facelift results, Dr. Lawrence Tong shares some of his favourite complementary procedures for optimizing Facelift results below.
Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)
Blepharoplasty, also called Eyelid Surgery or an Eye Lift, enhances the eyes by addressing sagging eyelids and puffiness. The upper and lower lids can benefit from blepharoplasty. Combining this procedure with Facelift surgery restores a youthful look for a balanced and refreshed appearance.
Brow lift
As the face and neck sag and descend with age, so do the forehead, temples, and brows. An endoscopic brow lift or lateral brow lift are procedures that aim to rejuvenate the upper third of the face. A brow lift can elevate and tighten the forehead and temples, reduce wrinkles, reposition the brows, and reshape the brow arch. Brow lifts are very frequently performed in conjunction with blepharoplasty to fully correct the upper face.
Fat Grafting (Fat Transfer)
Facial volume often decreases as part of the natural aging process, leaving some people with a depleted, tired look. Fat Grafting uses your body’s own natural fat to address volume loss. A Facelift can lift and tighten the skin, but Fat Grafting may be needed to restore natural fullness and improve facial contours.
Chin Augmentation
For patients concerned with a “weak chin” or soft jawline, a Chin Implant procedure can enhance the chin for a stronger-looking jaw. Combining Chin Augmentation with Facelift surgery can deliver a more harmonious profile.
Botox and Dermal Fillers
Combining non-surgical treatments with Facelift surgery is an effective way to boost and maintain results. BOTOX can relax facial muscles to prevent deep lines and wrinkles while Injectable Dermal Fillers can restore lost volume or be used to add definition to the lips.
Chemical Peels
A chemical Peel removes damaged outer layers of skin to reveal a fresh complexion. This treatment can be complementary to Facelift surgery, as it can diminish the appearance of discoloration and age spots for healthier looking skin.
