Absolutely
As faces age, they lose both volume and tone.
Simply "pulling" on the face will not restore the volume that is lost over time. I routinely perform volume augmentation with fat grafts at the time of a facelift to restore the volume that the face has lost, and think it is the best way to take off years and maintain a natural and "unoperated" look.
Hope this helps,

Adding volume is a great idea
Facial aging includes volume loss as well as laxity. A facelift can help with the laxity, and the technique of facelift I personally perform can even lift the volume of the cheek, but a facelift does not ADD volume to the face. Fat grafting at the same time as a facelift is a great way to tackle both the laxity and the volume loss at the same time. The only other feature of aging not addressed is skin wrinkling which can be treated with laser resurfacing. I frequently perform comprehensive...

Face Lift and Fillers
Hello, it is usually a good idea to use fillers while having your face lifted. I prefer to use fat with stem cells for a more natural look. Your own fat with stem cells are processed in the operating room and injected. This combination of procedures will also improve the appearance your skin. I would advise you to have a consultation with a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon and ask him about his experience with facial fat grafting. Also look at before and after photos.

Yes, of course, you can do them at the same time and this is quite commonly done. used together, you will address both the gravitational changes and the volume loss which occur with age.

Facelift, fillers, and wrinkles?
It is very common to do use fillers at the same time as a facelift as performed. Fillers do a nice job restoring volume in the face and effectively adding a third dimension to your appearance which creates a very natural, younger look.
A facelift is very effective at lifting sagging tissue, however, it is not always effective at fixing wrinkles. Often times, laser resurfacing is more effective at correcting fine lines in the face than a facelift is. Without pictures, it is...

Can I have a face lifting to fix the wrinkles and have fillers to pump up my face? Can I do them simultaneously?
In our practice we often combine facial fillers while having a facelift. We sometimes do the facial injections while you are under general anesthesia with the facelift surgery. The combination of both fillers and a facelift give you a very youthful appearance.

Combining facelift with fillers
With age, the skin loses elasticity and becomes redundant - this is corrected with facelift. In addition, the subcutaneous tissues and fat atrophy thus making the face to appear "deflated"- this is usually corrected either with fillers or fat transfer. It is better to address both of these problems, since neither overlifting or overfilling gives good results. Many times, facelift can be combined with fat transfer to address both issues simultaneously, so if...

Sure this is often done together.

Not uncommon to have a facelift and while recovering fillers are placed in those areas where the facelift lack the power to make improvements. This generally includes the perioral area and the under eye area. There is no substitute for the right cosmetic surgeon. Do your home work carefully. It is best if you can find a highly qualified surgeon close to home which makes follow up care easy.

Facelift to correct excess skin, then fillers.
Facelift to correct excess skin, then fillers at the same time is fine. Your own tissue can be used for the nasolabial creases so you do not need fillers repeated there.

Face Lift and Fillers
Without seeing pictures or seeing you in person, it is impossible to give you specific recommendations. However, a combination of face lift and fillers is possible. Another alternative would be facelift and fat grafting, which I do in almost every case.
Good luck.

Face Lifting and Fillers to Pump Up My Face
Yes, you can combine facelift and fillers. Depending on the goals and needs, you could do the facelift and fillers at the same time. However, it is often better to have the fillers subsequent to the facelift surgery.

Simultaneous Face Lifting and Fillers - great idea for most
Fillers and resurfacing procedures at the same time or following a Face Lift procedure Makes Sense for most. There is a higher risk in smokers however.
This is because you age by three factors - sagging (through gravity and time), loss of volume (counteracted by fillers), and skin texture (determined by environmental and genetic factors). Your fillers should enhance your effect of the lifting if placed appropriately by addressing one of the causes of aging..Most often one of these...

Facelifting versus Fillers
If one has significant deflation and sagging skin then a facelift is appropriate. Facial fillers will not look good in this type of patient with significant aging with sagging skin and deflated facial fat compartments. Patients, in general, can use neuromodulators and fillers in combination through their 30’s and 40’s. However, as you approach your 50’s one may benefit from making the transition to facial rejuvenation surgical techniques.

Using filler to complement the result of a facelift
Absolutely. In fact, it is often the case that a surgeon will use filler to complement the result of the facelift. In general, a facelift will not add volume to the face. That is where the filler helps. In general, you have two main options for a facelift:
1) Traditional facelift: a great option for a patient with more advanced signs of aging who wants to refresh their neck, jawline, and cheeks.
2) Mini facelift: A less invasive facelift that rejuvenates the lower...

Filler injections are great after facelift surgery
Yes. I often recommend that my facelift patients also consider filler injections after the surgery. A facelift addresses skin laxity by removing and tightening excess skin, while fillers add volume back to the face. Both of these procedures are important components of facial rejuvenation. Fat grafting is another great treatment to combine with a facelift. Fat grafting can also add volume back to your face but will last longer than fillers. Combining the surgical and non-surgical procedures...

Facelift and fillers
Yes, often times I will perform a face-lift and fat transfer at the same time. If you are considering having fillers injected, then I would do that separate and as an in office procedure.

Facelift and Filling doing it simultaneously
You can do this but you might want to consider one or the other. Face lifting will limit where you can put the fat. Part of the face lift will be done over the cheeks. There is a lot of volumizing and filling here that you can benefit from depending on your anatomy.

Face lift and injectable fillers for the aging face
Yes, it is possible to have a facelift and use fillers to help plump areas that have lost volume. Ones own fat, or a synthetic filler such as hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm) or calcium hydroxlyapitite (Radiesse) can be used for a filler. Although the fillers can be injected at the time of the facelift, if I am using one of the synthetic fillers, I usually like to wait a few weeks after the facelift before doing the injections. I find that I can inject the fillers in a...

Fillers and lifting
While fillers and fat injections are in vogue and loss of volume is associated with aging, each patient should have a customized plan to fit her anatomy and goals. This means that you should have your face analyzed carefully and techniques recommended based on anatomical requirements.
