Many people considering anti-aging surgery want not only to improve sagging around the eyes or face, but also to enhance their skin texture and overall skin condition.
It is also common for people planning procedures such as upper eyelid surgery, lower eyelid surgery, or a facelift to ask, “Since I’m already having surgery, can I also receive a skin treatment at the same time?”
Skin treatments are generally performed while the patient is awake after applying a topical anesthetic cream.
However, treatments that require multiple fine injections, such as Rejuran and skin Botox, may feel uncomfortable because of the pain or irritation involved.
For this reason, quite a few people wish to undergo a skin treatment under sedation at the same time as their anti-aging surgery.
One advantage of receiving the treatment under sedation during surgery is that it can reduce the discomfort felt during the procedure. It is also convenient because there is no need to make another visit on a separate date.
Another reason many people prefer this approach is that they can address their skin condition at the same time as making structural improvements around the eyes or face.
- What are some of the recently popular skin treatments? -
Among the skin treatments performed under sedation at the same time as surgery, Rejuran (REJURAN), Re2O, and skin Botox are representative options.

Rejuran is a skin booster focused on improving the skin’s natural recovery environment.
Its PN (polynucleotide) ingredient, derived from salmon DNA, is involved in the skin regeneration process and collagen production in the dermal layer, helping support the recovery of the skin’s natural condition.
It is commonly considered when the skin appears dry and dull, elasticity has decreased, fine lines have increased, or the skin texture has become rough.
After treatment, an increase in moisture, more refined skin texture, reduced fine lines, improved elasticity, and improved skin tone may be expected.
Re2O is a skin booster treatment focused on improving skin elasticity and pores.
It may help improve elasticity and skin density by supplementing the structures that support the skin.
As skin elasticity decreases with age, pores often appear enlarged as well. Re2O is frequently performed with the goal of making the skin look more refined and even.
It is particularly chosen when the skin feels generally lax or when enlarged pores are accompanied by reduced skin elasticity.
Skin Botox works somewhat differently from conventional Botox.
While conventional Botox is injected into the muscle layer to improve expression lines, skin Botox is injected very precisely into the superficial layers of the skin, focusing on improving the condition of the skin itself.
It may help make the skin texture smoother and reduce fine lines. Improvements in the appearance of pores, reduced sebum production, and improved elasticity on the skin’s surface may also be expected.
It is often preferred by those who want natural-looking changes while being concerned about an unnatural change in facial expressions.

At one week after surgery, some swelling remained around the surgical area.
However, the skin overall appeared slightly more elastic than before, and the fine lines appeared reduced.
Because this was still the early stage of recovery, it was difficult to regard this as the final result.
After two to three months, more natural changes had appeared.
The skin had an overall glow and a more refined texture, while the skin’s surface appeared smoother and softer.
With structural improvements from surgery and skin-condition management through skin treatments performed together, a more natural anti-aging result could be expected.

Anti-aging is not completed simply by lifting sagging areas.
When the face’s structural changes are considered together with the skin’s texture, elasticity, and glow, this can lead to a more natural and satisfying result.

※Whether surgery and a skin treatment can be performed together may vary depending on the type of surgery and the individual’s skin condition. It is important to determine the method appropriate for you through a thorough consultation.
