Can a facelift/neck lift be performed 6 weeks after arm liposuction?

The average time of recovery of a arm lift is 6 weeks; since is other area that won't be touch during the facelift is safe to do it; any how my advice is speak to your Plastic surgeon to get an evaluation and give you the green light to go ahead with your next procedure.
Good luck!

Hello, and thank you for your question. You’ll do the vast majority of your healing during the first 4-5 days of your recovery, and most people are completely recovered after 4 weeks. That said, it is still best to consult with the board-certified facial plastic surgeon who will be performing your procedures. He/she will know the extent of your procedure, as well as your medical history to give you a better estimate of your recovery time. Hope that helps!

As long as it is cleared by your surgeon, and there are no signs of infection (everything has healed well), there is no reason as to why you shouldn't be able to get a facelift. It mostly comes down to your comfort level.

Yes, a facelift/chin implant should be delayed by about 4 weeks after a liposuction so 6 weeks should be plenty.

As long as you are healthy, underwent an uneventful recovery, and have been properly screened and evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon, then you should be in good shape.

If you are having isolated arm liposuction and not a mommy makeover, there should be very little blood loss associated with the lipo. There shouldn't be any problem with a face/necklift and chin implant done 6 weeks after surgery. Best of luck.

Hello @turituri1 thank you for your question. Yes a facelift can be performed after that time as long as the previous exams are good and other important factors such as scar care are taken into account. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS

It depends on your health and the skill of your surgeon. In my practice, safety is #1, and for this reason, I require that all of my patients receive full medical clearance preoperatively. No matter the age, I require an EKG -- because it's crucial to have a road map of your anatomy: it's best to discover issues *before* patients are in the operating room, not during! In your case, after liposuction, it's important to ensure that your blood count has reestablished after having had liposuction, which can deplete your red cells and white cells due to blood loss and hemodilution during surgery. Also, is your surgeon skilled in facelifting? Or is your surgeon more of a "body" surgeon? I would make sure to look at the before-and-after photos and have a detailed consultation about your facial surgery. In my practice, I often perform revision facial surgery to improve on subpar results from other offices, Often these result from patients understandably not knowing that not all plastic surgeons are expert at facelifting.

Thank you for your question. In general, it is ideal to give yourself some time to properly heal from surgery. 6-8 weeks should be enough time after liposuction however I recommend consulting the surgeon who did your case. They will know how extensive the surgery was and give you the safest estimate on when you can proceed with another surgery. Good luck!

As long as you're in excellent health, that should not be a problem. Choose your facelift surgeon wisely based on extensive experience. Study the before and after photographs on your prospective surgeon's facelift Photo Gallery and make sure there you like the results you see and the results look very natural
