At Turkle & Associates, one of the most common questions we hear from patients is: “Can I combine cosmetic surgery procedures?” The answer is often “yes!” and in many cases, it can even be the best way to achieve the most natural looking, harmonious results.
Today’s patients are looking for overall balance, not just improvement in one area. Whether you’re addressing facial aging, body contouring, or post-pregnancy changes, combining procedures can create more seamless results while also saving time, money, and recovery.
Let’s explore why combination surgery is so popular, and which cosmetic procedures pair together beautifully for a refreshed look.
Why Combine Cosmetic Surgery Procedures
There are several reasons more patients are choosing combination surgery plans. When done correctly by a board-certified plastic surgeon, combining procedures can offer major advantages:
- One Anesthesia Session
Instead of being put under multiple times for separate procedures, patients can safely combine surgeries into one operative session.
- Reduced Total Downtime
Most people prefer to recover once, not two or three times. Combining procedures means one recovery period, which makes it easier to plan around work and family life.
- Cost Efficiency
When two or more procedures are performed in one session, patients often save on facility, anesthesia, and post-op fees, maximizing their investment.
- More Balanced, Harmonious Results
Treating multiple areas at once allows your surgeon to create facial or body proportions that look more natural together, rather than improving one feature and leaving others unchanged.
Popular Cosmetic Surgery Combinations
Here are some of the most common – and most effective – procedure pairings we perform at Turkle & Associates.
1. Facelift + Eyelid Surgery
A facelift rejuvenates the lower two-thirds of the face by tightening the jawline, smoothing jowls, and lifting sagging skin. However, signs of aging around the eyes, such as droopy eyelids or under-eye bags, can still make you look tired.
That’s why facelift and eyelid surgery can be a great combination. Together they:
- Open the eyes
- Lift and firm the face
- Create a refreshed, more youthful appearance
- Prevent a mismatch between the upper and lower face
2. Tummy Tuck + Liposuction
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) tightens loose skin and repairs separated abdominal muscles, but it doesn’t remove all unwanted fat. That’s where liposuction comes in. This duo is ideal for patients who want a more sculpted, toned midsection, especially after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
When combined, these procedures:
- Remove stubborn fat
- Restore separated muscles
- Eliminate excess skin
- Create a flatter, smoother waistline
3. Breast Augmentation + Breast Lift
Breast implants add volume, but they don’t correct sagging. A breast lift repositions and reshapes the breasts but doesn’t increase size. For many women, combining both procedures provides the best of both worlds. Whether due to aging, weight changes, or breastfeeding, this combination is one of the most transformative for women seeking breast rejuvenation.
Benefits include:
- Restored fullness in the upper breast
- Lifted positioning
- Improved nipple alignment
- Beautiful, natural looking shape with longer-lasting results
4. Mommy Makeover
A Mommy Makeover is a fully customized combination of procedures designed to restore a woman’s body after pregnancy, childbirth, or weight fluctuations. The biggest benefit of a Mommy Makeover is personalization. You and your surgeon work together to choose the right combination to restore your pre-baby body (or upgrade it!).
Common components include:
How to Decide What’s Right for You
Every patient is unique and the best results come from a personalized treatment plan. Here’s what matters most when deciding on combined cosmetic surgery:
- Consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon
Experience and expertise are everything. At Turkle & Associates, Dr. Jan Turkle and Dr. Brandon C. Specht take time to understand your concerns, anatomy, and goals before recommending the safest and most effective approach.
- Customization
Your combination plan should be tailored to your specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all package.
- Safety and timing
Not all procedures can (or should) be combined. Our priority is always your health, healing, and long-term outcome.
- Natural-looking results
The goal isn’t to change your appearance, it’s to enhance your features while maintaining balance and harmony.
