Combining Aesthetic Procedures: Which Are Perfect for You?

Combining procedures offers numerous advantages, including:

• Reduced Overall Recovery Time: Undergoing multiple procedures at once means you only have to endure one recovery period, getting you back to your routine faster.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Combining treatments can often be more economical than scheduling separate surgeries.
• Enhanced Results: Procedures that complement each other can lead to more harmonious and balanced outcomes.

1. Mommy Makeover

A Mommy Makeover is designed to address the physical changes that occur after pregnancy and childbirth. This comprehensive approach typically includes:

• Tummy Tuck: Tightens abdominal muscles and removes excess skin.
• Breast Lift or Augmentation: Restores breast shape and volume.
• Liposuction: Eliminates stubborn fat deposits in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and hips.

By combining these procedures, new mothers can regain their pre-pregnancy bodies more efficiently.

2. Facial Rejuvenation

Facial rejuvenation can address multiple signs of aging in one go. Common combinations include:

• Facelift: Lifts and tightens sagging facial tissues.
• Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): Removes excess skin and fat from the eyelids.
• Neck Lift: Tightens loose skin and eliminates excess fat in the neck area.
• Dermal Fillers: Restores lost volume and smooths out wrinkles.

This combination provides a more youthful and refreshed appearance, tackling wrinkles, sagging skin, and volume loss simultaneously.

3. Body Contouring

Body contouring is ideal for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and are left with loose, sagging skin. Procedures often combined include:

• Tummy Tuck: Tightens and tones the abdominal area.
• Thigh Lift: Removes excess skin and fat from the thighs.
• Arm Lift: Tightens the skin on the upper arms.
• Liposuction: Targets remaining fat pockets for a smoother contour.

Combining these procedures results in a more sculpted and toned physique, enhancing the overall body shape.

At Cormac Joyce Plastic Surgery, we understand that each patient is unique. During your consultation, Dr. Joyce will assess your individual needs and goals to recommend the best combination of procedures for you. Here are a few examples of tailored combinations:

1. Facial Procedures with Non-Surgical Treatments

Combining surgical and non-surgical treatments can yield remarkable results with minimal downtime. For example:

• Facelift with Botox: Achieves long-lasting lifting effects while addressing fine lines and wrinkles.
• Eyelid Surgery with Laser Skin Resurfacing: Enhances eyelid surgery results by improving skin texture and reducing pigmentation.

2. Breast Surgery with Body Contouring

For those looking to enhance their body shape, combining breast surgery with body contouring can be highly effective:

• Breast Augmentation with Liposuction: Enhances breast size while contouring areas with excess fat.
• Breast Lift with Tummy Tuck: Addresses sagging breasts and abdominal skin for a more youthful silhouette.

Combining aesthetic procedures is not suitable for everyone. Factors to consider include:

• Overall Health: Ensure you are in good health and can tolerate multiple procedures.
• Recovery Time: Be prepared for a potentially longer initial recovery period.
• Personal Goals: Make sure your goals are realistic and achievable with the chosen combination.
