At Hessler Plastic Surgery, many patients come to us seeking a refreshed, more youthful appearance but aren’t sure where to begin. One of the most impactful procedures for early signs of facial aging is blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery. Performed by Dr. Jill Hessler, a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon and national leader in aesthetic surgery, blepharoplasty offers subtle yet transformative improvements. However, it’s often most powerful when combined with other facial procedures to harmonize results and achieve full-face rejuvenation.
Let’s explore how blepharoplasty can be integrated into a comprehensive aesthetic plan to enhance and elevate your look.
Balancing the Upper Face: Blepharoplasty and Brow Lift
Many patients with drooping upper eyelids also experience a heavy or sagging brow. In these cases, eyelid surgery alone may not deliver the refreshed result they’re hoping for. A brow lift raises the forehead and repositions the brows to a more youthful height, complementing the eye-opening effects of blepharoplasty.
Together, these procedures can:
- Raise and reposition sagging brows
- Eliminate heaviness in the upper face
- Reduce forehead wrinkles and frown lines
- Create a brighter, more approachable expression
From Eyes to Neck: Achieving Full-Face Transformation
Blepharoplasty is focused on the delicate skin around the eyes, but it doesn’t address volume loss, jowling, or sagging in the mid-to-lower face. That’s where a facelift, neck lift, or both can complete the picture. A facelift repositions underlying tissues, smooths deep folds, and redefines the jawline, while a neck lift eliminates loose skin and muscle bands below the chin.
These procedures address common signs of aging, such as:
- Deep creases around the nose and mouth
- Sagging skin or jowling along the jawline
- Loose or banded skin beneath the chin
- Volume loss in the cheeks and lower face
Creating Facial Harmony with Eyelid and Nose Refinement
Though rhinoplasty and eyelid surgery target entirely different areas, they can work beautifully together when a patient seeks overall facial balance. Dr. Hessler is highly experienced in both procedures and uses a nuanced, artistic approach to ensure each feature complements the others.
When performed together, these surgeries can:
- Create a more balanced and symmetrical facial profile
- Refine both the eyes and nose for cohesive results
- Improve overall harmony between facial features
- Enhance confidence with a natural-looking transformation
Non-Surgical Enhancements to Boost Surgical Results
For those looking to refine or prolong their surgical results, combining blepharoplasty with non-surgical treatments can be a powerful strategy.
These popular additions can elevate and extend your blepharoplasty results:
- Dermal fillers: Restore volume to the cheeks or temples.
- Neuromodulators: Smooth fine lines and dynamic wrinkles.
- Laser resurfacing: Improve skin tone, texture, and clarity.
These treatments are often used after eyelid surgery to enhance results and maintain a youthful look longer.
