Complementary Procedures to a Facelift or Neck Lift:

Enhancing Harmony and Refining Results

A well-executed facelift or neck lift can dramatically refresh your appearance—but for many patients, optimal rejuvenation requires a more comprehensive approach. This is where complementary procedures play a powerful role.

At Raggio MD Facial Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, AL, I design customized surgical plans that go beyond simply lifting tissue. By addressing related areas—such as the eyes, brows, lips, and skin—we can create a result that’s not only more youthful, but also beautifully balanced and natural.

Commonly Combined Procedures

1. Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)

A facelift doesn’t treat the upper or lower eyelids. Blepharoplasty helps:

  • Eliminate sagging upper lids 
  • Smooth under-eye bags 
  • Restore a bright, youthful gaze

Deep Plane Facelift and Necklift, complemented by Upper Lid Blepharoplasty.

 

2. Brow Lift

For a sagging or heavy forehead, a brow lift:

  • Elevates low-set brows
  • Reduces forehead lines
  • Enhances overall eye and upper face aesthetics

Deep Plane Facelift and Necklift, complemented by a Minimally invasive browlift.

3. Fat Grafting & Nanofat

Included in every PreservaLift™:

  • Adds volume to hollow cheeks, temples, jawline
  • Softens folds and under-eye hollows
  • Nanofat improves skin quality and radiance

Facelift and Necklift coupled with autologous fat grafting.

4. Lip Lift or Augmentation

Facial rejuvenation often highlights signs of aging around the mouth. Options include:

  • Lip lift: Reduces upper lip length, enhances shape
  • Fat or filler augmentation: Restores soft volume

 Deep Necklift coupled with Surgical Lip Lift.

5. Chin Augmentation

To support jawline rejuvenation:

  • Fat grafting or implant can enhance projection
  • Improves balance and enhances neck-facelift results

Chin Augmentation with medical grade silicone chin implant.

6. Ablative Skin Resurfacing

After surgical lift and volume correction, many patients benefit from:

Facelift and Necklift complemented by Deep Chemical Peel.

Timing Considerations

Almost all of the above procedures are able to be performed during your facelift or neck lift. Others—like laser resurfacing —may be staged 3–6 months later for optimal healing and impact if desired.

    I am a week post-op from my cosmetic rhinoplasty with Dr. Blake Raggio, a Facial Plastic Surgeon here in Birmingham, Alabama. I just had my cast removed today and I could not be happier with my results already!

    Thank you, Dr. Blake Raggio, for the excellent work on my nose. The Rhinoplasty to correct the deviated septum and nostril closure went so smoothly. My breathing has improved and the before and after pictures were amazing. Your knowledge and skills improved my health and facial profile.

    Dr. Raggio is the absolute best! He listens and is very precise with his injections. I am extremely happy with the results I have gotten with him. He does not push any services on you, either. I have uploaded two pictures to show the difference. I get Botox and lip filler.

    I went to Dr Reggio for my eyelids. They were folding over. I was scared to have the surgery but the right eye was bothering me. So I decided to have the surgery and this Doctor is such a delight and kind-hearted. I am very, very happy with the way my surgery turned out. I would highly recommend Dr. Raggio to anyone!
