Combined Facial Surgery: A London Patient’s 1-Month Update
Before and at 1 month

1 patient, 6 distinct procedures
This Rhinoplasty Team Turkey patient story follows a Polish patient who lives in London, UK. Her treatment included rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, bichectomy, midface lifting, chin liposuction and Cat Eyes. The photographs document an early stage of recovery at 1 month.
A combined facial treatment involves different anatomical areas. Understanding what each procedure addresses helps put the overall change in context, without attributing every difference to the nose or treating the procedures as interchangeable.
Understanding the procedures
01
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose in relation to the rest of the face. It can address features such as the bridge, tip and overall proportions. In a combined facial treatment, the nose is considered alongside the cheeks, eyes and chin.
02
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery. It addresses eyelid tissue and contour, making it distinct from procedures focused on the cheeks or the outer-eye outline. The eyelids form 1 part of this patient’s broader facial treatment.
03
Bichectomy
Bichectomy concerns the buccal fat pads within the cheeks. Reducing this fat can change cheek fullness. It addresses volume, whereas a midface lift addresses the position and support of facial tissues.
04
Midface lifting
A midface lift repositions tissues in the central face, particularly around the cheeks. Its purpose differs from removing cheek fat: it focuses on elevation and support. Here it was included alongside bichectomy as a separate procedure.
05
Chin liposuction
Chin liposuction reduces localized fat beneath the chin to refine the contour of that area. It concerns soft tissue rather than changing the chin bone. Its contribution is separate from the changes made to the nose and cheeks.
06
Cat Eyes
Cat Eyes describes an aesthetic goal around the outer-eye outline, commonly associated with an upward accent. The term does not identify 1 standardized operation. In this story it is the supplied treatment name, separate from blepharoplasty.

A closer look at this patient story
Which procedures were performed?
The patient underwent 6 procedures: rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, bichectomy, midface lifting, chin liposuction and Cat Eyes. Each addresses a different aspect of facial shape or tissue.
Is the 1-month appearance the final result?
No. This is an early recovery update. Facial contours can continue to change as swelling settles, and the nose may refine over many months. Later follow-up is needed to assess the settled outcome.
Why describe the cheek procedures separately?
Bichectomy reduces buccal fat volume, while midface lifting repositions tissues in the central face. Explaining them separately makes clear that cheek fullness and tissue position are different considerations.
Does this story mean I need the same combination?
No. This records 1 patient’s treatment. A consultation with Rhinoplasty Team Turkey can explore your anatomy, priorities, medical history and the potential benefits and risks of each option. A photograph alone cannot determine a suitable treatment plan.
