Cosmetic procedures follow a customizable approach, and at Somerset Plastic Surgery, we can target multiple areas of the body, including the arms and breasts. For some individuals, combining procedures helps produce more noticeable results. You may be able to schedule more than one surgery at a time, depending on your overall health, aesthetic goals, and the surgeon’s recommendations. Here are several possible procedure combinations to discuss during a consultation:
Facelift and Blepharoplasty
Combining a facelift and blepharoplasty can give the face a rejuvenated appearance. By tightening or removing loose skin, these procedures help reduce various signs of aging. A facelift focuses on lifting and contouring the lower face and neck. It addresses sagging jowls, mouth creases, neck folds, and fat deposits. During the procedure, a plastic surgeon repositions the underlying facial muscles, and they remove or redistribute excess fat and skin. These steps help restore a smoother, more youthful-looking face shape.
The surgeon can also perform blepharoplasty, or eyelid surgery, to remove any excess eyelid skin and fat. This procedure helps reduce puffiness, and it improves the appearance of drooping or tired-looking eyes. Once complete, the dual procedure should result in a more balanced and refreshed facial appearance. Scheduling multiple procedures addresses several signs of facial aging in a single surgical session, enhancing convenience and providing comprehensive rejuvenation. A facelift or blepharoplasty may also be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as:
- Browlift: Elevates the eyebrows and reduces forehead wrinkles.
- Nose reshaping: Refines the size or shape of the nose to enhance facial balance.
- Neck lift: Further refines the jawline and addresses loose neck skin.
- Dermal fillers: Enhance volume and smooth deeper facial creases.
Breast Augmentation and Breast Lift
When looking to enhance your breasts, ask your plastic surgery team about an augmentation and lift. The augmentation procedure increases the size and volume of the breasts, and the lift procedure helps reshape them. Combining these surgeries provides both fullness and improved breast position. It addresses various concerns, including sagging, asymmetry, and loss of volume in the upper breast.
During surgery, the plastic surgeon places silicone implants behind each breast, helping you achieve your desired cup size. The surgeon repositions the nipple and breast tissue, and they remove any excess skin to complete the lift. This helps create a natural-looking contour. With a dual approach, you can enhance your breasts’ size and position without undergoing separate recovery periods.
The team at Somerset Plastic Surgery works with breasts of various sizes. We tailor our surgical plans to meet your goals while optimizing symmetry and proportion. Post-operative monitoring and follow-up care are also provided, so you can heal safely and properly.
Arm Lift and Liposuction
An arm lift, or brachioplasty, removes excess tissue from the upper arms and tightens the remaining skin. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have gained and lost a significant amount of weight, leaving the arms with a loose or flabby appearance. It improves the overall contour of each arm, and it helps restore a more toned shape. Combining an arm lift with liposuction helps contour the arm further.
Liposuction removes localized fat deposits that make the arms appear full or disproportionate. It may be recommended for individuals who have good skin elasticity but excess fat that does not respond to diet or exercise. During the procedure, the plastic surgeon uses small incisions to insert a thin tube called a cannula. This tube breaks up the fat cells and suctions them out. When performed together, these procedures allow the surgeon to remove excess fat and skin in a single surgical session. It can create a smoother, more defined upper arm shape, and it helps preserve natural proportions.
Body Lift and Breast Lift
A body lift is a comprehensive surgical procedure designed to improve the shape and contour of the torso and upper legs. Surgeons perform body lifts to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the underlying tissues. It can address various areas, including the:
- Back
- Buttocks
- Abdomen
- Hips
- Thighs
The procedure helps remove loose, sagging skin caused by aging, childbearing, or significant weight loss from diet and exercise or bariatric surgery. To maintain the body’s proportions, surgeons may also suggest adding a breast lift. The lift makes sure the breasts are repositioned to a more natural-looking place on the chest and reshaped to complement the newly contoured body. Facelifts and arm lifts may also be added as part of a comprehensive plan to reduce skin laxity. When combined, these procedures help improve overall body balance; they create more proportional contours across the upper and lower body.
