In this video, Dr. Robert Whitfield outlines how to plan breast surgery when patients also desire facial rejuvenation. He explains that procedures such as explant with lift or skin excision often require spaced‑out recovery, so patients may choose to complete breast surgery first and postpone facial adjuncts (e.g., Morpheus, SoftWave, Evoke, Evolve X) until healing. Alternatively, some patients opt for simultaneous facial rejuvenation, which demands careful attention to operative time, patient positioning, swelling, after‑care, medical history, and the individual’s capacity to recover, especially in an outpatient setting where extended surgery is not feasible.

Chapters

A patient may need an explant with a lift or skin excision and other treatments. Those are typically going to be spaced out because the recovery from those can be much longer. Another may choose obviously just have breast surgery and then consider all the other options later, whether it be Morpheus SoftWave, Evoke, Evolve X after healing. And another may want to add additional facial rejuvenation treatments at the same time. And we don't operate for extended periods of time in this outpatient setting we use. So combining facial rejuvenation with breast surgery requires obviously attention to how much time, the positioning, swelling, aftercare, any other considerations in the medical history and the patient's ability to recover should be addressed.
