My patients who undergo eyelid surgery in Houston know that this popular procedure can dramatically refresh your appearance, helping you look younger, more alert, and more energized. But if you’re looking to take your results even further, combining eyelid surgery with other facial procedures is a popular choice. Whether you’re interested in lifting sagging skin, smoothing wrinkles, or enhancing facial contours, combining treatments can deliver more comprehensive and balanced rejuvenation.
If you’re considering upper or lower eyelid surgery, here are five popular add-ons that can help you maximize your results.
1. Facelift Surgery
A facelift is the most common companion to eyelid surgery. While eyelid surgery addresses the upper and lower eye area, a facelift targets sagging skin along the jawline, midface, and neck. When combined, these procedures can create more harmonious results—refreshing the lower face while rejuvenating the eyes.
This approach is ideal if your concerns go beyond puffiness and drooping eyelids to include jowls or deep nasolabial folds.
2. Brow Lift
A brow lift raises drooping eyebrows and smooths deep forehead lines, which can enhance the effects of upper eyelid surgery. Some patients seeking upper eyelid surgery may actually have a low or heavy brow contributing to the hooded appearance of their eyes. In these cases, I may recommend a brow lift for a more complete and natural-looking result.
3. Fat Transfer or Dermal Fillers
While eyelid surgery removes or repositions fat to reduce puffiness, volume loss in the cheeks or temples can still create a tired or hollow look. Fat grafting or dermal fillers restore youthful fullness to these areas.
Fillers are also commonly used to smooth tear troughs beneath the eyes after lower eyelid surgery. These subtle enhancements complement your surgical results without adding additional downtime.
4. Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser treatments refine skin texture, improve tone, and reduce fine lines—especially those around the eyes and mouth. When combined with eyelid surgery, laser resurfacing can help tighten the skin and stimulate collagen production, extending the longevity of your eyelid surgery results. It’s an excellent way to address skin quality concerns that surgery alone cannot resolve.
5. BOTOX® Cosmetic
To smooth dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet and frown lines, BOTOX remains a popular finishing touch after eyelid surgery. This non-surgical injectable temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines, helping you maintain a refreshed look.
Many patients schedule BOTOX treatments as part of their ongoing post-surgical maintenance plan. Learn more about what not to do after BOTOX in our related blog post.
