A major trend in the last few years is for patients to have more than one operation at the same time. This reduces cost and means you only have one period of recovery and pain. In most cases this does not significantly increase the risks of surgery, although this depends on your health and the kind of surgery. Dr. Hudson can advise you if this is suitable for you.
A facelift is often combined with blepharoplasty or eyelid tightening, and limited areas of skin resurfacing (peel, laser, sanding). This does not add a long time to the operation, and most surgeons feel that the risks are usually worthwhile.
