Is Fraxel Laser Safe for People with Jaw Reconstruction?

asked 1 year ago by Columbia1400 in Columbia, SC

Tags: jaw, implant, metal, reconstructive, safety

I would like to have Fraxel restore on my face (including jaw line). Is there any sort of problem since I previously underwent jaw reconstruction surgery (involving metal)? I saw the answer regarding the Affirm laser, but want to make sure that the same answer applies to Fraxel. Thanks so much!

Fraxel Laser Is Fine After Jaw Reconstruction

Fraxel Laser treatment should be absolutely fine after jaw reconstruction surgery. So long as you are well healed, there is no reason not to have the procedure done. I would expect you to receive a good result from this procedure. Good luck to you. George Anterasian, MD

Fractional laser treatments should be fine.

Your jaw reconstruction is much deeper than any of the fractional lasers (Matrix, Fraxel, etc.) will penetrate and therefore should be fine to get the treatment.

Fraxel laser can be used after jaw surgery with metal

There is no reason that the Fraxel laser can't be used. the metal you had implanted with your jaw surgery is deeper than the laser penetration; you should not have any issues.

Fraxel Laser is Okay with Metal Jaw Reconstruction

Hi Columbia, It is okay to have Fraxel laser with metal in your jaw.  Make sure that you stay away from MRI machines!  Good luck and be well. Dr. P
