Laser treatment, lower facelift, blepharoplasty and Hydrafacial. What's the best order to do these procedures?

Question

I want to do three different procedures. I am planning on doing laser treatment on the many brown spots on my face and chest, a lower face lift with lip lift and upper and lower eye blephs, and a hydro facial. Is there a “best” order in which to do these?

I agree combining your facelift and blepharoplasty is the right choice and I would do those first. Once you have healed sufficiently from surgery, you can proceed with the laser treatment for your brown spots. A hydrafacial can follow that and you will likely want to perform that procedure at regular intervals to maintain your positive results. Make sure you are working with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon to ensure an optimal outcome.

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.​  Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It’s best to do the facelift, blepharoplasty and all surgery first in one procedure.  The laser can be next after a period of healing,  Lastly you can do hydra facial treatments on a regular basis post op.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

A lower face and neck lift can certainly be combined with a blepharoplasty procedure with one anesthesia and one recovery period.  Anticipate 2 weeks of visible bruising and swelling after both procedures.  The surgery should probably be done first, and then a month later you can do laser treatments for the brown spots and that may even help blend in the incisions as well.  Hydro facial can be done any time before or after surgery, but probably best to wait at least a month
