The ASPS trend report highlights facelift combined with blepharoplasty as a leading combination for 2025. National procedure volumes are fueling the growing demand for comprehensive facial rejuvenation planning.
TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / December 22, 2025 / Gruber Plastic Surgery in Tampa, Florida is sharing updated insights on planning patient education and counseling for 2025 about one of the most in-demand facial rejuvenation strategies: combining a facelift with blepharoplasty (blepharoplasty) for a balanced, natural rejuvenation. The practice notes that patients researching “Tampa facelift,” “Tampa eyelid surgery” and “Tampa eyelid surgery” are increasingly asking the same question: “Should I treat one area now or plan a full-face approach so my results look consistent?”
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), combination procedures are on the rise as patients seek “maximum impact,” specifically identifying “facelift combined with blepharoplasty or lip lift” as a key pairing trend. ASPS procedural data also highlights the continued demand for facial rejuvenation procedures, citing blepharoplasty (blepharoplasty) and facelift (wrinkleectomy) among the most performed cosmetic surgeries reported by ASPS member surgeons.
“Most patients don’t want to ‘change’ their face, but they want to look rested and like themselves,” said Meegan Gruber, MD, PhD, surgeon and founder of Gruber Plastic Surgery in Tampa. “When the eyes look tired but the lower face has slack or vice versa, treating just one area can feel incomplete. A well-planned eyelid lift approach can create harmony and that’s natural.”
Why Facelift + Blepharoplasty is a common pairing of 2025
Facial aging rarely occurs in a single zone. A facelift is generally designed to address concerns such as sagging of the lower face and jawline changes, while a blepharoplasty can address weight, excess skin or puffiness around the eyes. When performed for the right candidate, matching procedures can help:
-
Create a more balanced “refreshed” look across the face
-
Reduce the “processed with one region” display that can occur when only one region is processed
-
Consolidate planning and rehabilitation into a single surgical schedule (when necessary and medically safe)
At Gruber Plastic Surgery, facelift planning is individualized and may involve different technique approaches depending on anatomy and goals. The practice also notes that upper and lower eyelid surgery can be performed simultaneously for comprehensive results in suitable candidates.
2026 Outlook: What patients are likely to continue to ask for
Looking to 2026, the practice expects patient demand to continue to trend towards:
-
Natural-looking results driven by balanced full-face design
-
Combinations of processes that minimize “multiple downtime”
-
Clear, educational consultations that help patients understand what each procedure can and cannot handle
Quick Questions & Answers for patients searching for “Facelift Pad” or “Blepharoplasty Pad”
Q: Do I need a facelift and blepharoplasty together?
A: Not always. Some patients benefit more from blepharoplasty alone, while others need improvement to the lower face and neck first. A consultation should determine what will create the most natural balance.
Q: Why combine them at all?
A: Many patients feel their result looks more complete when the eye area and lower face are drawn together, as aging affects many areas at once.
Q: What should I bring to my consultation?
A: Your goals, reference photos (if helpful), your medical history, and a list of priorities, what bothers you most, and what “natural” means to you.
