Top Reasons to Combine Eyelid Surgery with a Facelift

Woman touching her face and looking up after a facelift and eyelid surgery in Savannah, GA When considering facial rejuvenation, many people focus on a single concern, such as sagging skin or tired-looking eyes. However, the face ages as a whole, which is why combining eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) with a facelift produces more balanced, natural-looking results. If you’re researching your options, here are the top reasons patients choose to have these procedures together.

At Chatham Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Carl B. Pearl specializes in aesthetic facial procedures, focusing on achieving natural, meaningful results while minimizing downtime. Based in Savannah, GA, Dr. Pearl understands that every patient is unique and carefully customizes combination procedures to enhance facial harmony and deliver refreshed, balanced outcomes.

1. More Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation

A facelift addresses sagging in the midface, jawline, and neck, but it doesn’t correct droopy eyelids or under-eye bags. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat to create a more alert, youthful appearance around the eyes. Together, these procedures rejuvenate the entire face rather than improving just one area.

2. Harmonized, Natural-Looking Results

One of the biggest advantages of combining eyelid surgery with a facelift is facial harmony. Tightening the lower face while leaving heavy or aging eyelids untreated can look unbalanced. Addressing both areas at once helps ensure your results appear smooth, refreshed, and proportional.

3. Single Recovery Period

Recovery time is an important consideration for many patients. Combining procedures means you’ll go through anesthesia, downtime, and healing just once, rather than twice. This can be especially appealing for busy individuals who want effective results with minimal disruption to their schedules.

4. Long-Lasting Outcomes

Both facelift and eyelid surgery offer long-lasting improvements. When performed together, the results often age more gracefully because all key areas of facial aging are addressed simultaneously. Patients frequently report looking refreshed for years, not “overdone.”

5. Potential Cost and Time Efficiency

While every treatment plan is unique, combining surgeries can sometimes be more cost-effective than scheduling them separately. You may reduce facility, anesthesia, and recovery-related costs by undergoing both procedures at once.

6. Customized Treatment Planning

A qualified facial plastic surgeon can tailor a combination approach to your anatomy, goals, and degree of aging. This personalized planning ensures the safest approach and the most natural results.
