Four Procedures to Complement Your Facelift Results

A facelift is an excellent way to reverse signs of aging and look young again. But, it doesn't stop there! Men and women can combine their facelift with other cosmetic procedures for more refreshed results in Tucson, AZ. A few examples include a neck lift, brow lift, eyelid lift, and facial fat grafting. Best of all, these skin rejuvenation treatments can be personalized at Rao Plastic & Hand Surgery according to your needs and goals.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to counter aging, but there are some amazing techniques available for anyone who wants to regain their youth. If you want to look and feel confident in your skin again, meet with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Arun Rao to discover your options. You can also read a quick overview of each procedure below.

What does a facelift do?

A facelift removes excess sagging skin from your face and tightens the underlying structures for a smoother look. Depending on your initial assessment with Dr. Rao, we can focus on the area near your eyes, the mid-face, or the bottom two-thirds of the face. This allows our team to provide a natural appearance without seeming overdone or artificial. And, of course, surgery can also be combined with other procedures for more comprehensive facelift results.

1. Neck lift

The neck is among the most difficult areas of the body to treat. As we age, our skin begins to sag and loses its elasticity. This loose neck skin can't always be addressed through over-the-counter creams or products. A neck lift tightens the area beneath the chin to take care of issues like a turkey neck. KYBELLA®, a popular cosmetic injection, can be used at the same time to reduce excess fat beneath the chin.

2. Brow lift

Some people have drooping brows that make them appear older or more tired than usual. If you have deep creases across the forehead, a brow lift may be your perfect solution. A browplasty improves this problem by removing sagging skin from the forehead and raising the brows. Our team in Tucson, AZ may also provide patients with a combination of dermal fillers and BOTOX® for more dramatic skin rejuvenation outcomes.

3. Eyelid lift

Blepharoplasty (also known as an eyelid lift) refreshes your upper and lower eyelids and opens up the face. When problems like dark circles, bags under the eyes, or puffy tissue make you feel self-conscious, Dr. Rao can carefully remove the fatty tissue and sagging skin. Patients can look and feel younger – and they may even improve their vision if drooping eyelids obscure their line of sight.

4. Facial fat grafting

Loss of volume can make your face seem sunken, hollow, and tired. But you can do something about those signs of aging with facial fat grafting. This procedure plumps up certain areas by transferring excess tissue from other areas, like the hips, flanks, or abdomen. Dr. Rao can even smooth out fine lines and wrinkles throughout the face. Patients also appreciate that no implants are needed, and outcomes are completely natural.
