I am a 60 year old female, good health, never smoked. I am looking into a facelift. I have stopped getting botox and fillers, thinking to prepare for a facelift. Should I wait to do resurfacing as well?

Answer: Skin resurfacing I think your plan is a good one with you stopping Botox and fillers prior to the facelift. Also I generally recommend skin resurfacing after a facelift because it allows the resurfacing tool, whether this be a laser or a chemical, to work on a 'tighter canvas'. Certainly there are exceptions and I would discuss this with your plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Stop skin resurfacing prior to facelift Hello, congratulations on your choice of having a facelift. I would recommend doing your last skin resurfacing treatment 6-8 weeks prior to your facelift. It is great that you are focusing on dermal health as well as the surgical correction of skin excess and muscle laxity with the facelift. I would resume resurfacing techniques 6-8 weeks post surgery as well.
