Can I Get Botox and Fillers at the Same Time?
Both Botox® and dermal fillers are popular treatments for anyone who wants to diminish wrinkles and restore volume lost due to aging. But can you have both treatments at the same time? Here’s the answer.
Bleph and Brow: Best Eye Surgery Combination in Virginia
The first signs of aging often occur around the eyes and can make men and women look older, tired, angry, or sad. Despite using serums, creams, or non-invasive procedures, many patients remain dissatisfied with skin quality on their upper face.
Fortunately, sagging skin on the eyelids and fat deposits under the eyes can be corrected with eyelid surgery also known as a blepharoplasty.
In addition, heavy brows and forehead and glabellar lines can be improved with a brow lift.
These procedures can be performed separately, however, many aesthetic experts recommend combing the surgeries for a refreshed and balanced appearance.
WHAT IS EYELID SURGERY?
A blepharoplasty addresses skin laxity, dark circles, bulging fat, and drooping eyelids that are caused by decreased collagen and loss of elasticity. It involves reducing excess skin, removing fat, and tightening muscles.
For upper eyelid surgery, an incision is made in the crease. Alternatively, an incision is made in the lash line when performing lower eyelid surgery.
WHAT IS A BROW LIFT PROCEDURE?
A brow or forehead lift elevates sagging brows and targets forehead wrinkles and frown lines.
During the procedure, a plastic surgeon makes a single or multiple incision along the patient’s hairline, lifts loose skin, tightens muscles, excises skin and tissue, and completes the repositioning with sutures.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF COMBINING A BLEPHAROPLASTY AND BROW LIFT?
A blepharoplasty and brow lift are considered complementary surgical procedures that create balance within the upper face.
When a brow lift is performed in an effort to improve the forehead and lift the lids, it can look overdone and cause a startled expression.
Additionally, a blepharoplasty alone can leave brows heavy, as the movement of the eyelids pulls eyebrows down.
Therefore, a combination of the two procedures avoids exaggeration of the brows or eyelids and maintains facial harmony. It also ensures that patients achieve natural looking results
