Why address just your eyes when you can achieve comprehensive facial rejuvenation? Many patients choose to combine Bella Eyes® with Trinity Lift for dramatic, harmonious facial transformation.
Bella Eyes® Combined with Trinity Lift®
Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation
Why Combine Bella Eyes® & Trinity Lift?
The Strategic Advantage: While Bella Eyes® addresses the upper face (eyes and lateral brow), Trinity Lift addresses the mid-face and lower face. Together, they create comprehensive facial transformation.
What is Trinity Lift®?
Overview
Trinity Lift® is a novel, patented surgical technique for endoscopic mid-face lift developed by Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu. The procedure has been published in ISAPS and PubMed, two leading medical publications, establishing it as a recognized surgical innovation.
Trinity Lift® is designed to lift and rejuvenate the mid-face area, resulting in a more youthful and vibrant appearance using advanced endoscopic technology to lift the underlying tissues, creating a natural and subtle lift.
The Trinity in Trinity Lift®
The name “Trinity Lift®” comes from the prefix “TRI” – emphasizing the three lifting points in this innovative technique:
1. Malar Fat Pad & Cheek Elevation
Lifts and supports the cheek structure
2. SOOF Elevation
Lifts the sub-orbital orbicularis oculi fat (lower orbital area)
3. Lower Eyelid Enhancement
Improves and supports the lower eyelid region
By addressing these three strategic points, Trinity Lift® achieves comprehensive mid-face rejuvenation.
Areas Addressed by Trinity Lift®
Trinity Lift® specifically targets the mid-face and lower orbital unit through:
- Under-eye area– Rejuvenation and support
- Cheekbones– Lift and definition
- Nasolabial folds– Reduction and smoothing (smile lines)
- Overall mid-face– Volume, shape, and position improvement
Results:
- Lifted, defined cheeks
- Reduced nasolabial folds
- Improved under-eye appearance
- Natural, youthful mid-face
- Better cheek projection
- More rested appearance
Trinity Lift® Advantages
Advantages Over Traditional Mid-Face Lift Methods:
Minimal Incisions:
- Trinity Lift® requires only two small 2cm incisions in the scalp
- Incisions are totally invisible 10 days after surgery
- Placed in hairline where they’re completely hidden by hair
- Minimal scarring compared to traditional open methods
Minimally Invasive Approach:
- Advanced endoscopic technology provides precision
- Smaller incisions mean less tissue trauma
- Considerably easier and more effective than traditional methods
- Quick recovery—return to normal activities in 1-2 weeks
- Faster healing with minimal disruption
Strategic Three-Point Lift:
- Addresses three specific areas simultaneously (malar, SOOF, lower eyelid)
- Each point has a specific role in comprehensive rejuvenation
- Creates natural, harmonious results
- Name “Trinity” reflects this unique three-point approach
Natural Results:
- Advanced endoscopic technology allows precise control
- Specialized sutures secure tissues naturally
- Results enhance volume, shape, and position
- Creates subtle, natural lift—not overdone
- Youthful appearance without looking “surgically done”

Procedure Details
Two Separate Procedures or Combined?
The procedures are typically performed in a single surgical session, allowing:
- ✓ Single anesthesia administration
- ✓ One surgical session instead of two
- ✓ One recovery period instead of two
- ✓ Cost efficiency through combination
Total Surgical Time
| Procedure | Duration |
| Bella Eyes® alone | ~90 minutes |
| Trinity Lift alone | ~90 minutes |
| Combined | ~2 hours 30 minutes |
The combined time is actually MORE efficient than performing both separately.
Anesthesia
- General anesthesiaadministered by board-certified anesthesiologist
- Continuous monitoring throughout
- Safe and appropriate for longer procedure duration
- More comfortable for patient than multiple procedures
Strategic Approach
Why Combining Makes Sense
Aesthetic Harmony: When multiple facial areas are lifted together, the results look naturally harmonious rather than isolated improvements.
Comprehensive Transformation: Instead of “I had my eyes done,” patients say “I look 10 years younger.”
Efficiency:
- Single surgical session
- Single recovery period
- One anesthesia administration
- More cost-effective than separate procedures
Natural Results: All facial areas improve proportionally, creating balanced, natural-looking results.
Recovery Timeline: Combined Procedure
Initial Recovery (Days 1-5)
Days 1-2:
- Peak swelling (more than Bella Eyes® alone due to larger area treated)
- Rest and elevation
- Ice therapy
- Pain management
Days 3-5:
- Swelling begins to decrease noticeably
- Post-operative check-up around day 5
- Increased comfort
- Some activity resume possible
Returning to Activities
Days 7-10:
- Most patients return to work
- More swelling with combined procedure than Bella Eyes® alone
- May need 10-14 days for full work return
Weeks 2-4:
- Significant improvement visible
- Bruising mostly faded
- Can resume most normal activities
- Swelling continues to reduce
Weeks 4-8:
- Resume full activity
- Feel “normal” again
- Results increasingly visible
- Final results emerging
Months 2-3:

Why Trinity Lift® is For You:
- You want mid-face rejuvenation without major surgery
- You have mild to moderate cheek sagging
- You want to reduce nasolabial folds
- You want to improve under-eye area appearance
- You don’t experience serious loss of elasticity requiring full facelift
- You want natural, subtle improvement
- You can accept 1-2 weeks recovery time
Who Can Have Trinity Lift®:
- ✓ Both men and women
- ✓ Patients in their 20s with genetically droopy midface
- ✓ Those ages 30-60 seeking preventative or restorative work
- ✓ Patients combining with Bella Eyes® for comprehensive rejuvenation
✓ Drooping or tired-looking eyes (Bella Eyes®) ✓ Lateral brow sagging (Bella Eyes®) ✓ Sagging or droopy cheeks (Trinity Lift®) ✓ Prominent nasolabial folds/smile lines (Trinity Lift®) ✓ Under-eye hollowing or poor support (Trinity Lift®) ✓ Overall upper and mid-face aging signs ✓ Want comprehensive facial transformation ✓ Want harmonious, balanced results ✓ Are in good overall health ✓ Have realistic expectations ✓ Want long-lasting results ✓ Are ages 30-60 (ideal range)
Why Combine Bella Eyes® + Trinity Lift®?
Strategic Reason: Since both Trinity Lift® and Bella Eyes® are done through the same incisions and have the same recovery time, patients who have both droopy eyes AND droopy cheeks are advised to undergo both surgeries simultaneously.
The Key Benefit: In extremely droopy eyes, it is highly essential to support the lower eyelid. The region that supports the lower eyelid is the midface. When Bella Eyes® is combined with Trinity Lift®:
- ✓ Trinity Lift® provides SOOF lift that supports the lower eyelid from below
- ✓ Bella Eyes® lifts the eye corner from above
- ✓ Together, they achieve more dramatic eye opening
- ✓ Even patients with extremely droopy eyes achieve superior results
- ✓ The lifts work together for maximum effectiveness
Consultation Will Determine
During your consultation with Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu:
- Your facial anatomy is assessed
- Whether you’re a candidate is determined
- Combined approach is discussed if appropriate
- Customized plan is developed for your specific needs
- Results are explained
- Timeline and recovery discussed
Why Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu Recommends Combined Procedures
The Strategic Reasoning
Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu recognizes that when both procedures can be performed through the same incisions with the same recovery time, combining them creates superior results through anatomical support.
The Key Principle: In cases of extremely droopy eyes, the lower eyelid must be supported from below. The support structure for the lower eyelid is the midface.
How They Work Together
Trinity Lift’s Role:
- The SOOF lift (one of the three Trinity Lift points) strengthens the region that supports the lower eyelid
- This provides foundational support from the midface below
- Enhances lower eyelid positioning and support
Bella Eyes® Role:
- Lifts and elevates the lateral canthus (outer eye corner) from above
- Lifts the lateral brow
Combined Effect: When both procedures are performed together:
- ✓ Lower eyelid is supported from BOTH above (Bella Eyes®) and below (Trinity Lift®)
- ✓ Even patients with extremely droopy eyes achieve more dramatic eye opening
- ✓ Results are more stable and harmonious
- ✓ The lifts work synergistically for maximum effectiveness
- ✓ One surgical session, one recovery period, superior results
Expert Perspective
Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu explains: “In extremely droopy eyes, it is highly essential to support the lower eyelid. The region that supports the lower eyelid is the midface. When Bella Eyes® is combined with Trinity Lift®, we achieve more slanted eyes even in patients with extremely droopy eyes. The anatomical support from below enhances the lift from above.”
Why Both Procedures Through the Same Incisions?
Practical Advantage:
- Both procedures use the same hairline incisions
- No additional scarring needed
- Single surgical session instead of two
- Single recovery period instead of two
- More efficient and patient-friendly
- Cost savings through combination
When Dr. Ufuk Askeroglu Recommends Combination
Combining procedures is typically recommended when:
- You have both droopy eyes AND droopy cheeks/mid-face
- You want comprehensive upper + mid-face rejuvenation
- You have extremely droopy eyes that could benefit from lower eyelid support
- You want maximum dramatic transformation
- You prefer one recovery period instead of two
- You want the best possible anatomical support and harmony

Frequently asked questions
