Effect of fillers on facelift

Fillers are used to replace volume lost in the face with aging, and correct wrinkles to some extent. Undergoing a facelift is feasible after using fillers, even if for a long period of time, but make sure to inform your surgeon beforehand about the timing and type of fillers used and which areas you have had previously treated.

Having fillers Should not affect the outcome of your facelift

Hi there- There is no reason to believe that having had fillers injected for correction of facial aging in the past would affect your ability to achieve a safe and pleasing outcome from facelift surgery. You should be able to proceed with confidence. Good luck!

Depends on what you mean by affect.

Dear Ritamarie We have been in a huge minimally invasive turn in cosmetic surgery now for years.  Fillers however make it feasible to put off facelifts with results that hands down are just plain much better than anything that could be accomplished with surgery.  This does not mean that there is no longer a role for surgery.  It just means that given a choice between going under the knife or having an office based filer service that makes a real difference for over a year... more

Facelift after fillers.

Fillers and facelifts mix very well! The results of your facelift will actually be enhanced by the volume provided by fillers if they are done properly.  My recommendation is to have the facelift before adding any further filler.  This way you will avoid any mis-calculations that could affect your facelift results.

Facelifts & Fillers

Filler and Facelift

If you have temporary fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse and Sculptra they will likely have little effect on your facelift if you have not gone overboard on your use of the fillers.  Permanent fillers such as silicone cause permanent problems and should be avoided.  Good luck.

They will enhance the facelift

A facelift will remove excess skin and elevate the muscles and cheek fat pads back to a more pleasing position. Having dermal fillers placed will enhance the soft tissue volume because as we age not only does our skin loses elasticity and stretch but we also lose facial fat, particularly in the cheeks.

Fillers and Facelifts: a good marriage

A facelift will remove excess loose skin and tighten the angles of the face, as well as reposition the deeper tissues of the face to restore youthful contours.  Fillers, on the other hand, do what a facelift cannot do: rebuild volume to fill facial hollows under the eyes, around the temples, in the smile lines, and along the jawline.  Fillers and facelifts are very complimentary procedures.
