I would like to know the proper order of doing ALL of these procedures: Hairline lowering surgery, female hair transplant, eyebrow lift, full or mini facelift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, chin implant, rhinoplasty. Which can be done on the same day? One or more of these procedures would obviously need to be done first, and separate from the rest. Which surgeries would those be? Thank you.

Answer: Surgery I would start with the area that bothers you most. Not all facelift surgeons do rhinoplasties and many will not do rhinoplasties with other facial surgeries because of the increased risk of infection. The nose is a dirty place. The hair transplant and hair lowering procedures should not be done at the same time because of risking blood flow to the new transplants. With transplants, the hair lowering procedure may not be needed. Do the transplants first. The brow lift, eyelid surgery, facelift and chin implant can all be done at the same time. The brow lift cannot be done with the transplants at the same time, but the hairline can be lowered with the brow lift through the same incision. I would find a facial plastic surgeon and discuss all your concerns and options and order of procedures.

Answer: Together or separate? Advice on recommended facial rejuvenation procedures. This is a great question. I often touch upon this subject during my facelift consultations. There is real value in performing multiple facial rejuvenation procedures (such as lower facelifts, eyelids, lip lifts, fat transfers, chemical peels, chin implants, hairline lowering procedures) together as patients have to go under anesthesia once (albeit for longer), have only one recovery (albeit more intense downtime) and can start enjoying a more comprehensively rejuvenated face and neck sooner as opposed to if done in stages. Many patients, however, prefer to stage their facial rejuvenation in more digestible chunks, which decreases operative time, the intensity of the first 7-14 days of recovery/downtime and breaks up the cost of surgery in multiple stages (although may be more expensive overall). Ultimately, it really depends on the patient, their goals, their tolerance to downtime, their budget and whether or not they are traveling out of state or a long distance to see their surgeon. If you do decide to break it up, makes sense to address things regionally (i.e. chin implant with lower facelift +/- fat transfer; browlift, hairline lowering, upper and lower eyelids etc). Not everybody needs everything, which is where the real value of a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic facial surgeon is. Hope that answered the question sufficiently!
