The Benefit of Combining Procedures for Optimal Results in Cosmetic Surgery

Blog

Posted by Dr. James Apesos

Why Consider Combining Procedures?

Combining cosmetic procedures can be an incredibly effective strategy for those looking to achieve their desired results more comprehensively and efficiently. Here are some compelling reasons to consider this approach:

Comprehensive Results

When you combine procedures, you can address multiple areas of concern simultaneously. For instance, pairing a facelift with eyelid surgery can create a more harmonious and youthful appearance. Similarly, a tummy tuck combined with liposuction can contour the body more effectively than either procedure alone. The synergistic effect of combining treatments can lead to more balanced and holistic results.

Reduced Overall Recovery Time

One of the most significant advantages of combining procedures is the reduced recovery time. Instead of undergoing multiple surgeries with separate recovery periods, you can consolidate your downtime. This means less time off work, fewer interruptions to your daily routine, and faster overall recovery. For busy individuals, this can be a game-changer.

Cost Efficiency

While cosmetic surgery is an investment in yourself, it’s always beneficial to consider cost efficiency. By combining procedures, you can often save on various costs such as anesthesia, operating room fees, and other associated expenses. This bundled approach can make achieving your aesthetic goals more affordable in the long run.

Enhanced Safety and Convenience

Undergoing multiple procedures in a single surgical session can also enhance safety and convenience. With advancements in surgical techniques and anesthesia, it’s now possible to safely perform multiple procedures together. This means fewer trips to the operating room and less exposure to anesthesia, reducing the overall risk associated with multiple surgeries.

Customized Treatment Plans

Combining procedures allows for highly customized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs and goals. Your surgeon can assess your overall aesthetic concerns and develop a comprehensive plan that addresses all of them. This personalized approach ensures that every aspect of your appearance is considered, leading to more satisfactory results.

Popular Procedure Combinations

To help you better understand the possibilities, here are a few popular combinations of cosmetic procedures:

Facelift and Neck Lift

Aging affects both the face and neck, often leading to sagging skin and loss of definition. A facelift combined with a neck lift can provide a more youthful and cohesive look by addressing both areas simultaneously.

Breast Augmentation and Lift

For those looking to enhance the size and shape of their breasts, combining breast augmentation with a lift can be an excellent option. This combination can restore volume while also correcting sagging, resulting in a fuller and more youthful appearance.

Tummy Tuck and Liposuction

A tummy tuck can remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles, while liposuction can target stubborn fat deposits. Together, these procedures can create a more contoured and toned midsection.

Eyelid Surgery and Brow Lift

The eyes and forehead are often the first areas to show signs of aging. Combining eyelid surgery with a brow lift can rejuvenate the upper face, creating a more alert and refreshed appearance.

What to Expect During the Consultation Process

When considering combined procedures, the consultation process is crucial. During your consultation, your surgeon will:

Evaluate Your Goals: Discuss your aesthetic goals and areas of concern in detail.
Assess Your Health: Review your medical history and overall health to ensure you’re a good candidate for combined procedures.
Develop a Customized Plan: Create a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.
Discuss Risks and Benefits: Explain the potential risks and benefits of combining procedures, ensuring you have realistic expectations.
Outline Recovery: Provide detailed information about the recovery process, including what to expect and how to prepare.

Preparing for Combined Procedures

Preparation is key to a successful outcome. Here are some tips to help you prepare for your combined procedures:

Follow Pre-Operative Instructions: Your surgeon will provide specific instructions to help you prepare for surgery. Follow these closely to ensure the best possible outcome.
Arrange for Support: Since recovery may be more involved, arrange for someone to assist you during the initial days post-surgery.
Create a Comfortable Recovery Space: Set up a comfortable area in your home where you can rest and recover.
Stay Informed: Educate yourself about the procedures you’re undergoing and what to expect during recovery.

Combining cosmetic procedures offers a range of benefits, from comprehensive results and reduced recovery time to cost efficiency and enhanced safety. By addressing multiple areas of concern simultaneously, you can achieve a more balanced and harmonious appearance. If you’re considering cosmetic surgery, a consultation with a qualified surgeon can help you determine if combining procedures is the right approach for you. Remember, your journey to achieving your aesthetic goals should be as smooth and rewarding as possible.

What people say about our doctor?

I found Dr. Apesos through another patient of his. I found that you need to know what kind of questions to ask him to get the information you want out of him because he isn’t exactly the kind of person who is very detailed in his explanations. I am very happy with the results of my breast augmentation and he was very patient with me when I would freak out and call the office numerous times a week. I would definitely recommend him to others and from my experience, be patient, don’t freak out, he knows what he is doing and if you follow his directions, you’re outcome will most likely be a good one.(I say that because everybody’s body is different and heals differently)

Definitely Recommends

I consulted Dr. Apesos for liposuction of my abdomen and thighs. I was blown away when he said he wouldn’t do liposuction until I lost my extra weight. He told me to come back, when the weight was gone and we would talk about the procedure again. He advised me, liposuction is not for weight loss. As I was leaving, he could tell I was a little upset. He reassured me that if wanted the best possible results, that I needed to loss the extra weight. So, I lost the 20lbs and I had my procedure done! I can’t tell you how happy I am!!! Especially to find a doctor that turned my money away for my own benefit! What kind of Dr. turns money down? Dr. Apesos did! I consulted two other plastic surgeons prior to consulting Dr. Apesos and they were more than happy to do my liposuction at my previous weight. After leaving my consultation with Dr. Apesos, I knew hands down that I wanted him to do my procedure. My problem areas are gone and I love sporting my bikini!

Great Advice, and Excellent Liposuction

I found Dr.Apesos to be a very thorough doctor, who more than took his time to answer any and ALL of my question. His bedside manner was very pleasant as well, he new that I was very nervous the morning of my surgery and manage to make me laugh. He took his time to listen to what it is that I wanted & and to make sure that I was going to be happy with the results. He even gave my husband his personal cell after my surgery should we need him. I would without a doubt recommend him to anyone considering plastic surgery.

Happy with Results

I landed at the Plastic Surgery Pavillion more than 10 years ago for a consultation with Dr Apesos. I had undergone a prophylactic double mastectomy with botched reconstructions by another plastic surgeon in the Dayton area 3 years prior. I had lost my self confidence and hope of ever feeling “normal” again. Dr Apesos was sympathetic, caring and thoughtful, and after the next few weeks of studying my extensive surgical history formulated a plan to “fix” me. Experience and talent does count! After a long and complicated surgery, I could not have hoped for a better outcome. I have passed along my story to many, and recommend Dr Apesos as the BEST in the Midwest. In fact, my results were so good that I have had many facial cosmetic surgeries since due to my trust in his skill and artistry. These include upper and lower blepharospasm, rhinoplasty, and an S-lift. My results are natural looking, not plastic or “pulled”. I finally look like I feel….a youthful 57!

Best in the Midwest

I vowed I would never ever put myself through the ‘ordeal’ of plastic surgery, I thought”I hope I grow old gracefully”! My work keeps me in the spotlight, and I constantly come across people who have had face lifts or some cosmetic surgery. Dr. Apesos performed the surgery on most of these people, they simply looked naturally younger! Upon meeting Dr. Apesos, his passion about his profession and his ability make people happy was evident, and helped me make the decision to have a full facelift. I had total trust, he was incredibly thoughtful, caring and put my mind at ease from the very beginning. That was 6 years ago, I continue receive compliments about my looks, I couldn’t be happier! I traveled a long distance to Dr. Apesos for the surgery, I could have gone to one of several surgeons in the state where I live, but I made the right choice! I would recommend him to anyone who considers having cosmetic surgery.

Dr. Evelyn Macenzie

I had my pre-op visit with Dr. Apeso’s recently. I have surgery in November. I had a lot of questions and concerns as I am young. He was very friendly and funny put my nervous at ease. His staff was very nice and caring on lady was quite wouldn’t really talk to me but other than that amazing. I know there are mixed reviews I guess in November I will see how amazing his work is I can not wait! Will update once I am back to myself.

Young Daytonian

A couple of dear friends of mine had went to Dr. Apesos for their BA and tummy tuck. One friend got her BA about 14 years ago and the other one was within year. They were extremely happy (both look very natural and I didn’t even know they had anything done). Also, my mother is a nurse and had worked at same hospital with him a long time ago so that verified his experience with me. I flew back to Ohio for my consult. This went very well. I got to try different implants in the bra they require for post op surgery. Dr. Apesos was aware that I wanted a very natural look as I am on TV. I was scared to go too big yet then again I didn’t want to be small. My results are perfect! Everyone on set and that I work with could not tell I had surgery yet I have nice natural looking Big ones!! haha.The scaring… can not even see it. They are exactly what I wanted. Great work guys!

Big Ones

It has been approximately one year and two months since Dr. Apesos performed my blepharoplasty (upper and lower) and my facelift. I could not be more pleased with the results. When I had my initial consultation with Dr. Apesos, he listened attentively and asked several questions for clarification as to my desired result. He provided me with a book of before and after pictures of individuals who had the same two procedures. We discussed his methodology for both procedures and what the results would be. He took a considerable amount of time answering my many questions as I had never had any elective surgery done before. Dr. Apesos carefully explained to me how I would feel after the surgery and when the follow-up appointments would take place. I was very impressed with his use of supplements to build up my cells prior to the procedures as well as reduce bruising afterward. The paperwork I took home was clear and concise as to what I was to do before and after the surgery. Having the surgery done at Dr. Apesos’s own surgical suite was convenient for me and my family. His surgical staff was kind and accommodating to a 66 year old. Never did I feel uneasy or rushed during my trips to and from the surgical suite. Although I was under anesthesia, I can remember staff members holding my hand and rubbing my shoulder during the procedure. My other memory is of Dr. Apesos’s calm voice speaking to the staff. I could not have asked for a more caring group to take care of me when I was vulnerable. My recovery was fast with very little bruising. Once the swelling subsided, I was amazed at the results that had been achieved. Dr. Apesos’s office staff was friendly and encouraging as to my healing face each and every time I came for an appointment. I continued to follow Dr. Apesos’s instructions for the next year until my eyes and face had finished changing. We had a slight reconfiguration of one eye at the one-year mark which made my results 100% of what I wanted. I continued my journey with Kathy of the Skin Center (also in Dr. Apesos’s office) to use filler on some lines around my mouth with fantastic results. Now when I look in the mirror, I can see memories of that young woman again that I once was. Because of Dr. Apesos’s conservative approach, nobody knows I have had these procedures done. People just comment on how healthy I look and wonder what I do to my skin to make it look so young. I would recommend Dr. Apesos in a heartbeat to anyone desiring these types of surgeries. He is a highly intelligent doctor who is excellent at his craft. Dr. Apesos has made a positive change in my life and in my self confidence that will last for years. I will never be able to thank him.

Hi, I severely burned my right hand as a baby. From what I was told multiple surgeons said they couldn’t fix it. However, Dr. Apesos wasn’t afraid to try. Gosh, it must have been about 30 years ago now? I’ve just recently been told the name of the surgeon that helped to restore the use of my right hand. I wanted to reach out and say thank you to Dr. Apesos. I’m forever grateful for his efforts. It’s still scarred but it’s functional I’m so grateful that it’s relatively normal looking. I’m eternally grateful for what he’s done for me. I’m glad I now know who he is so that I can voice that gratitude to him. Thanks
