Dear doctors, I am turning 50 this year and I am starting to see some sagging in my facial tissues. I am looking for a harmonious facial rejuvenation, addressing all areas of my face, i.e brow lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, deep plane face and neck lift, fat transfer where needed and possibly a lip lift. Would you recommend a staged approach spanning over 2-3 years (say, starting with a brow lift) or would you recommend waiting another 3 years and having it all done at once? Thank you!
Answer: Staged or All At Once The answer really depends on what you want, your schedule, and what degree of recovery(ies) you are willing to have. I would say that in my practice, most patients are now opting for a single recovery as opposed to multiple anesthesia events and multiple recoveries. However, I have patients who feel that incremental changes are best for them, so neither answer is completely right or completely wrong. Find a Facial Plastic Surgeon with who you are comfortable and whose results you like.

Answer: I would split into 3 stages Hello and thank you for your question. Generally, your risk for complications increases after your surgery length exceeds 4.5-5 hours. Although there are exceptions, it takes most surgeons longer than that amount of time to perform all the many procedures you have listed. Therefore, it is possible to do all these procedures together during one surgery, but given the unnecessarily increased risk for complications in these elective procedures, I would not recommend it.

Answer: What you should know about combining procedures Thank you for your question and the photos you provided. It is a common practice to perform multiple procedures during one surgical session. This allows for a single recovery period while also producing more comprehensive results. Many patients undergo two or more surgical procedures at a time to achieve their aesthetic goals sooner while requiring less downtime in the long term. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to discuss your goals with you and create an individualized treatment plan that is catered to your specific needs.

Answer: Staging of facial rejuvenation Hi and thanks for the question with photos! In short, if you can do them at once that will simplify things so you have one recovery, one session of anesthesia, and one period of downtime. They are safe to do at the same time.
