Farid Brad Mozaffari, MD · Answer

Stem cell injections will rejuvenate the skin and improve tone/texture of the skin, but it will not give you volume nor tighten the structures underneath. One month post injection is long enough for the cells to have incorporated and would be ok to have surgery, but you have not seen the complete effect of the stem cells yet. Looking at your picture, I'm not sure you need a facelift yet as I don't see significant signs of facial aging. You might be a good candidate for non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures such as Morpheus or FaceTite. It's best to see a board certified plastic or facial surgeon to evaluate you and suggest best course of treatment for your concerns.

We usually use the patient's stem cells in the form of micro and nano-fat grafts for skin and soft tissue rejuvenation. It is usually done at the time of surgery. You should address this issue with a person who injected stem cells into your face as well as your plastic surgeon.

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD · Answer

Stem cells are experimental at best. If you put these in 1 month ago they are either alive, in which case surgery is fine, or not alive, in which case surgery is fine.

Personally, I see no indication for you having a facelift.
I generally do not recommend people have facial fat removed because it tends to cause premature aging.
Most likely restoring your facial volume would be the way to go.
I suggest you consult with experienced plastic surgeons in your community at which time you can bring up your medical history, including your previous injections.
I don’t get involved with stem cells and don’t believe they are of any use other than for marketing and making money for providers.
Best,
