Can I have a facelift next year after being diagnosed with osteoporosis and taking medication?

Hello there Yes Prolia has a beneficial effect on your bones but it won't interfere with your facelift .At your consultation give your doctor a full list of medications you are taking as some others may be problematic with facial surgery .A facelift is a broad non-specific term . The consultation is to assess the areas of your face that have aged and advise on what can be done to treat each area .The aim is to achieve a natural harmonious rejuvenation of your face without any tell-tale signs of surgery .All the best TS

You should be able to have facial surgery while undergoing treatment for osteoporosis.  As with any surgery, you must discuss all your medical conditions as well as medications, whether OTC or prescribed, with your surgeon.  Be sure to inform both your board certified plastic surgery and the physician treating your osteoporosis of your plans..   

Thanks for your question. There should be no problem with a facelift after taking osteoporosis medications. In more recent years the bisphosphonate medications that are used for osteoporosis has caused some issues with bony healing particularly after dental extractions. There should be no issues though with soft tissue surgery such as a facelift. 

 Many women of the age for a facelift have some degree of osteoporosis. That in itself would not affect your facelift. The medication you’ve been prescribed does have some side effects which are rare and they should be easily managed at the time of your facelift. Check with your primary care doctor and get clearance from him/her.   Best wishes. 

Yes, you can definitely have a facelift after being treated for osteoporosis. You should discuss the timing of the medication with your prescribing doctor and your facelift surgeon, otherwise, there are no issues with being on that medication

I would estimate that at least half of my facelift patients have some degree of osteoporosis and I am unaware of any contraindication for facelift surgery while taking Prolia.
