Combining other plastic surgery procedures with a facelift provides more balanced and comprehensive rejuvenation by addressing multiple signs of aging in a single, coordinated plan. When you combine treatments that target different areas of the face, you achieve harmonious results from every angle while enjoying one recovery period.
If you’re considering a facelift, pairing it with strategic add-on procedures can help you achieve a smoother jawline, a brighter eye area, and more youthful facial volume. Below, discover some additional benefits of pairing procedures and find out the most common combinations for fully refreshed, natural-looking results.
Why Do Patients Combine Procedures With a Facelift?
Patients combine procedures with a facelift because aging rarely affects just one area of the face at a time. A facelift improves the mid and lower face, but it doesn’t address volume loss, eyelid heaviness, or neck laxity. When you treat these concerns together, your results look more cohesive.
Other benefits include:
- A single recovery period instead of multiple downtime windows
- Enhanced facial balance and symmetry
- The ability to customize your surgical plan to your exact goals
- Cost and time efficiency for long-term rejuvenation
Combining procedures gives you more extensive and natural-looking rejuvenation. With that in mind, here are the most popular treatments people add to their facelift to enhance their overall results.

Facelift & Neck Lift
A facelift and neck lift create a more defined appearance by smoothing the jawline, tightening loose neck skin, and reducing banding for a more sculpted profile. Because the lower face and neck age together, treating them at the same time leads to a more seamless, youthful profile.
A combined facelift and necklift may address:
- Jowls that soften jawline definition
- Excess or crepey neck skin
- Prominent vertical neck bands
- Fat accumulation under the chin
Together, these refinements create a more sculpted and defined look, setting the foundation for additional facial enhancements if desired.

Facelift & Eyelid Surgery
Combining a facelift and eyelid surgery brightens the eyes by removing excess skin, smoothing puffiness, and restoring a more alert and refreshed appearance. While a facelift focuses on the lower two-thirds of the face, eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) rejuvenates the upper and/or lower lids for a complete transformation.
Eyelid surgery can help you address:
- Heavy upper eyelids
- Under-eye bags
- Sagging or hooded skin
- A constantly “tired” look
Pairing these two procedures creates a brighter expression that complements the lift achieved in the lower face.

Facelift & Brow Lift
You may want to add a brow lift to your facelift if your eyebrows have descended or if forehead creases make you look tired or tense. A brow lift elevates the brows to a more youthful position and smooths the upper face, balancing the lower-face improvements of a facelift.
Signs you might benefit include:
- Brows that sit lower than they used to
- Horizontal forehead creases
- Vertical lines between the brows
- Eyelids that appear heavier due to brow descent
When you elevate the brow and smooth the upper face, your facelift results appear even more natural and relaxed, giving you a rejuvenated look from forehead to jawline.
Facelift & Fat Transfer
Pairing a facelift with fat transfer improves facial harmony by restoring lost volume to areas that look hollow or flattened with age. A facelift lifts and smooths, but fat transfer fills the contours that support a youthful shape.
Fat transfer commonly enhances:
- Cheeks
- Temples
- Nasolabial folds
- Under-eye hollows
By enhancing facial fullness where it’s needed most, fat transfer adds softness and balance to your facelift results, helping you achieve a refreshed look that feels authentically you.
