What Comes First Dental Work or Facial Work?

Belledajour
I have been planning having some facial work done...most likely a face lift. I went to the dentist and need to have work done on my teeth and gums. I think I know already but it is better to have the teeth attended to 1st for they are a priority but, also if I had anything done even just fillers of Botox it would be affected by my facial muscles by the jaw and below being bruised and being moved around. Am I right?
