Blepharoplasty, Mini Lift and Fraxel While on Vitrase Sessions?

I have had 4 vitrase sessions to remove Juvederm. Two weeks after the last session, a lot of it is still present in cheek and eye area.

Is it ok to go ahead with Mini lift, Upper Blepharoplasty and Fraxel Laser? I hated the Juvederm and feel it changed facial shape for the worse. Will it affect outcome?

Remove all Juvederm before undergoing facial surgery

It is probably best to make sure all of the Juvederm has been removed with the vitrase prior to embarking on all of the other above procedures. It is just not a good idea to have all of that done at the same time.

Facial Surgery After Removing Excessive Juvederm

One step at a time!  I would recommend removing the Juvederm with vitrease/hyaluronidase (or just letting it fade away on its own) before embarking on a new series of procedures.  If the end result is not satisfactory, will it be the fault of the Juvederm, the surgery, or the laser?

Facial surgery with too much juvederm

I would hold off having any type of surgery while you are working to dissolve juvederm. It would be more precise whent he effects of the vitrase are complete.

Surgery in the "Face" of Too Much Juvederm

Hi Mishka, Best to ask your surgeon those questions.  It is difficult to advise you without examining you or viewing photos.  Given the procedures that you have listed, I do not think that the Juvederm should affect your results. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
