I want to get a neck lift and possibly lower face lift. I also want to have cosmetic dentistry as my teeth are very small and I look toothless when I smile. Does it matter which one I have done first? I am 62. . My dentist put composite on my 4 front teeth to make them a little longer and I had my teeth whitened. I had an underbite that was corrected surgically when I was 25, my lower mandible was pushed back 3 millimeters.

Answer: Sequence of precedures: cosmetic dentistry and facelift It depends on the kind of cosmetic procedures you are considering. Your lack of teeth show may also improve with a lip lift as our upper lip gets longer and starts hanging like a courtain over the upper dentition. Only a physical examination will determine if this is the case in you.Otherwise, there is no preferred order of treatment for you. This is different in patients who are considering multiple dental implants which will impact the facial anatomy. Then it is advisable to have the dental reconstruction done first followed by the facelift.

Answer: Lower face/neck lift vs cosmetic dentistry. It really doesn't matter that much whether you get a lower face/neck lift for $8800 on special or you get cosmetic dentistry done. Both are great procedures which usually make you feel better about your appearance. I would only recommend waiting for 2 weeks after a face/neck lift before doing dentistry since the dentists always are stretching open your mouth so wide and it could be alittle painful. If you do the dentistry 1st then you can do the facelift right away since if you are smart you will be doing it under local with a little IV sedation so there won't be any annoying tube down your throat to chip a veneer on. sincerely, david Hansen,md
