For patients looking to refresh their appearance, eyelid surgery often becomes the starting point. The eyes tend to show signs of aging early—loose skin, puffiness, and tired expression—making blepharoplasty or eyelid cosmetic surgery a popular first step in facial rejuvenation.

However, addressing only the eye area can sometimes leave a noticeable contrast between a smoother upper face and the untreated regions below. That’s why many patients at Waldman Plastic Surgery and Dermatology in Nashua, NH choose to combine blepharoplasty with additional treatments. The goal isn’t to look “done”—it’s to look naturally rested and balanced.

What Eyelid Surgery Can Achieve on Its Own

Blepharoplasty removes excess skin, fat, and muscle from the upper or lower eyelids, helping patients look more alert, rested, and youthful. It’s a solution for:

  • Sagging upper eyelids
  • Reducing puffiness or bags under the eyes
  • Improving vision in cases where eyelid droop interferes
  • Brightening the overall appearance of the face

At our practice, blepharoplasty in Nashua, NH is tailored to each patient’s facial structure and aesthetic goals, delivering refreshed results without compromising your natural expression.

Why Combine Blepharoplasty with Facial Rejuvenation Treatments?

Because the aging process affects the entire face—not just the eyes—treating only one area can sometimes make other concerns more noticeable. Combining eyelid surgery with non-surgical treatments helps smooth and refine the full picture, creating balanced, natural-looking outcomes.

Patients often appreciate the ability to address volume loss, skin laxity, and fine lines in one personalized plan. These combination approaches also mean fewer recovery periods and often more long-lasting results.

Which Treatments Pair Well with Blepharoplasty?

At Waldman Plastic Surgery and Dermatology, we help patients build plans that reflect their goals—not just treat isolated concerns. Some of the most commonly recommended options to pair with eyelid surgery include:

Facelift or Mini Facelift

A facelift is ideal for addressing lower facial sagging and adds harmony to blepharoplasty results. When both procedures are done together, patients often look naturally rejuvenated from brow to neck.

Dermal Fillers

While blepharoplasty improves the upper face, volume loss in the mid-face or lower face can still cause an aged appearance. Strategically placed fillers in the cheeks or nasolabial folds can complement surgical improvements around the eyes.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Eyelid surgery doesn’t improve skin texture, but combining it with fractional laser resurfacing or similar technologies can reduce fine lines, sunspots, and roughness—blending surgical and surface-level improvements.

Neuromodulators (Botox or Dysport)

Fine lines between the brows or on the forehead can sometimes remain even after eyelid surgery. Wrinkle relaxers subtly enhance your results and prevent deepening expression lines over time.

Creating a Personalized Treatment Plan

A comprehensive approach starts with a consultation. During your consultation with a blepharoplasty surgeon, they will evaluate your facial structure, skin quality, and areas of concern. For some patients, surgery alone is sufficient; for others, a thoughtful combination of treatments yields the most balanced, refreshed outcome.
