Combining Eyelid Surgery with Other Procedures

By Dr. Christian Stallworth

If you’ve already started exploring eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), you likely know how transformative this procedure can be for reversing the tired or aged look that often develops around the eyes. While it provides significant improvement on its own, many patients discover they can achieve even more dramatic, natural-looking results by combining it with other facial procedures.

At Texas Plastic Surgery, we often recommend a combination approach for patients seeking complete facial rejuvenation. When planned together, combining procedures with blepharoplasty can produce more balanced results, helping you look refreshed in a natural way.

Understanding How Your Face Ages

Facial aging doesn’t just impact the eyelids. In fact, it often involves:

When only one area is treated, like the eyelids, these other aging signs can stand out more. That’s why patients seeking facial harmony often benefit from a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses multiple areas simultaneously.

Why Consider a Combination Approach?

Facial aging doesn’t happen in isolation.  While eyelid surgery addresses sagging eyelids and under-eye bags, it doesn’t treat the forehead, cheeks, or jawline. That’s why patients seeking more complete rejuvenation often choose a combination approach to create harmony across all facial features.

Popular Combinations for Eyelid Surgery

1) Eyelid Surgery + Facelift

While blepharoplasty addresses the upper and lower eyelids, a facelift addresses droopy eyelids, jowls, and neck laxity all in one procedure. Combining these procedures creates a full-face rejuvenation, smoothing both the eye area and the lower facial contours for a refreshed, youthful look.

2)  Eyelid Surgery + Brow Lift

A brow lift elevates the brows while smoothing the eyelid area for a more alert appearance, enhancing the results of eyelid surgery. Together, these procedures restore balance and lift the entire upper face, making you look more awake and youthful. This combination is even more effective if:

3)  Eyelid Surgery + Non-Surgical Treatments

Many patients choose to pair surgical eyelid rejuvenation with non-surgical treatments such as:

These non-surgical options can enhance skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and restore lost volume for a long-lasting, polished result.
