Have you ever heard of combined surgeries? This is the practice of performing multiple surgical procedures in a single operation, offering patients the convenience of addressing several aesthetic needs at once, optimizing time in the operating room and the recovery period.
Throughout my career as a surgeon specializing in the face and blepharoplasty, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with many colleagues. One of these partners is plastic surgeon Dr. Rafael Manzini, with whom I performed several procedures in the past. We recently renewed our partnership for a surgery that, in our view, represents a strong trend in the field of aesthetic medicine: the combination of facial and body procedures.
Aiming to meet patients’ growing demand for more comprehensive results, this innovative approach represents a new step toward the future of plastic surgery.
Combined surgeries are usually limited to facial procedures, such as rhinoplasty combined with blepharoplasty or a brow lift with a facelift, among other possibilities. In this case, however, we took combined surgery to a new level, performing a blepharoplasty and a mastopexy during a single surgical event.
It is important to emphasize that, contrary to what one might think, surgical time does not add up when we combine these surgeries. Instead, it overlaps, which means patients can undergo highly complex procedures, with two independent teams working simultaneously on different areas of the body.
Beyond saving time, there are other important benefits to combining breast and facial surgery: the synergistic combination of care and medications during the postoperative period.
We believe that collaboration between medical teams specializing in different areas of plastic surgery is a promising trend that aims to meet patients’ constantly evolving needs and expectations. This approach maximizes not only efficiency but also safety, ensuring that each patient enjoys a unique and satisfying aesthetic journey.
