Combining Facial Plastic Surgery
Northern Virginia, Maryland & Washington, DC

The Austin-Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery located in Reston, Virginia, specializes in facial surgery, including facelift, brow lift, rhinoplasty and neck sculpting for Northern Virginia, Maryland & Washington, DC.

For most people, facial aging doesn't affect just one area of the face. Instead, it seems like the effects of aging are visible everywhere. Your forehead, eyes, cheeks, chin, and neck all show the effects of facial aging together. For some people, there's one feature that stands out as being the most important, but for many people a true facial rejuvenation procedure is a combined attack on many different symptoms to ensure that you get a rejuvenated appearance that is also natural and long-lasting.

This page talks about some of the more common combinations we perform, but it cannot design a custom approach that targets the specific symptoms of your facial aging. To get a custom-designed facial plastic surgery plan, please call or email The Austin Weston Center for Cosmetic Surgery and schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Rejuvenating the Eye Region

Our eyes are one of our most important facial features because they convey so much about us. When our eyes are old and tired-looking, those messages can be lost behind sagging lids, hanging brows, and deep under-eye hollows. Addressing aging in the eye area can be complicated and often requires a combination of procedures, such as:

• Blepharoplasty for drooping eyelids
• Brow lift for sagging brows
• Facial fillers for under-eye hollows
• BOTOX® Cosmetic for crow's feet and other dynamic wrinkles

When these procedures are used together, they will restore a youthful, energetic appearance to your eyes.

Rejuvenating the Mid-Face

Sometimes the main problem is the region between the eyes and the mouth. Most often, aging in this area is caused by a loss of fat from the cheeks and/or a displacement of the cheek fat pads. This and other symptoms of aging in this region can be addressed with:

• Mid-face lift to reposition cheek tissues
• Blepharoplasty to reposition fat from lower lid
• Facial fillers to supply lost volume in tear trough, nasolabial folds (parenthesis lines), and lips
• BOTOX® Cosmetic for lipstick lines
• Fraxel fractional laser skin resurfacing to restore tone and luster to the face and fill in facial scars (such as acne scars)

These procedures can restore youthful fullness to your cheeks while minimizing the impact of age in this region.

Rejuvenating the Lower Face

Lower face rejuvenation is focused on restoring a youthful definition to the chin, neck and jaw line. The most common procedures used for this are:

• Face lift for repositioning all sagging tissues in the lower half of the face
• Neck lift for repositioning sagging tissues in the neck
• Facial implants for improving definition where a weak chin or jaw line contribute to an aged appearance
• Neck liposuction where excess fat needs to be removed from the neck

Obviously, many of these procedures overlap, so selecting the right ones for you depends on the skilled judgments of an experienced plastic surgeon.
