Facial Rejuvenation Surgery in Indianapolis
At Wagner and Associates Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Wagner takes a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. During your initial consultation, Dr. Wagner will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy and aging patterns to recommend the most effective treatment plan for your goals. While a forehead lift with blepharoplasty is a common combination, he also regularly pairs them with other facial plastic surgery techniques like the facelift or rhinoplasty.
Harmonizing the Upper Face
The forehead, eyebrows, and eyelids work together as an interconnected aesthetic unit. Aging affects these areas simultaneously – as the brows descend, they can push redundant skin onto the upper eyelids, making them appear heavy.
Meanwhile, forehead wrinkles often develop as we unconsciously raise our eyebrows to compensate for drooping tissue. By addressing both areas at once, a combined forehead lift and blepharoplasty helps maintain a balanced post-op look. The brow lift positions the eyebrows at an optimal height while eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat, resulting in a naturally refreshed appearance that neither surgery alone could fully achieve.
Simplifying Recovery
Combining these procedures also allows patients to complete their recovery during a single healing period rather than going through two separate surgeries and recovery phases. This means fewer total days away from work and social activities.
While recovery from combined procedures may be slightly longer than either surgery alone, it’s typically shorter than the cumulative recovery time of having them done separately. Patients also benefit from only having to arrange care and support once, making the overall experience more convenient and manageable.
Long-Term Benefits
Combining a brow lift with eyelid surgery not only delivers immediate aesthetic improvements but can also extend the longevity of your results. When only the eyelids are addressed, untreated brow descent may continue to impact the upper eye area over time, potentially leading to earlier revision surgery. By correcting both areas at once, patients often enjoy a more stable, longer-lasting outcome.
Cost Effectiveness
From a financial perspective, combining facial procedures can offer notable savings. Patients typically pay only one facility fee and one anesthesia fee, rather than incurring these costs twice for separate operations.
