Can I have Thermage on my upper lids before a lower blepharoplasty?

Question

Hello I’m interested having a lower bleph but I am interested in a thermage treatment on my upper lids prior to this surgery. Are there any complications that I should be aware of??

Kadir Berat Oyur, MD · Answer

Performing Thermage on the upper lids prior to a lower blepharoplasty is generally considered safe, as the two treatments target different anatomical areas and use distinct modalities to achieve rejuvenation. Thermage utilizes radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin envelope of the upper lid by stimulating collagen production, which will not interfere with the surgical repositioning of fat or skin excision performed during a lower blepharoplasty. The primary consideration is timing; we typically recommend waiting at least 4 to 6 weeks after your Thermage session before undergoing surgery to allow any localized deep-tissue inflammation to fully subside. This ensures that your surgeon is working with stable, "quiet" tissue, allowing for the most precise measurements and predictable healing during your surgical recovery.
