I had filler removed in cheeks and as a result cheeks have sagged and have a dip in them, im not suitable for threadlift as have fatty tissue under chin. Going to get short scar lift as I can have this area treated with liposuction, I feel as though there is still some filler in my face as I have no nose to mouth lines... I also had some in chin, is it best to have it all removed before I have the facelift? Thanks.
Answer: Should face fillers be removed before a facelift? Yes and no Fillers and/ or fat transfers to the face alone to restore volume can really be effective in restoring youthfulness. Using them in conjunction with a facelift can make the results not only more dramatic but more natural and longer lasting. The only reason I can think of to try to remove the fillers prior to a facelift is if fat transfers were planned for the areas where you currently have fillers (so you know where and how much fat to graft) otherwise you will have no idea how much fat to graft in the areas currently occupied by the fillers (which will eventually go away after the facelift). If this is the case, the other option would be to wait until the fillers are gone before you proceed with the facelift and fat transfers. All this should be discussed with a board certified plastic surgeon during your consultation prior to proceeding. Best wishes.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Fillers and facelifts No it is not necessary to have filler removed prior to facelift surgery. However, if a volumizing procedure is planned such as fat grafting, it is best that all filler is dissolved and gone prior to surgery so that appropriate volumization is possible. Good luck!

Answer: Considering face lift surgery Your fillers do not need to be removed. Obtain a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to get their opinion about what needs to be done. Often this includes a face and neck lift with liposuction and fat injections to deficient areas.

Answer: Fillers do not need to be removed before a facelift. Persistent fillers in the face are not a problem for a facelift. You do not need to have them reversed or allowed to dissipate before proceeding.

Answer: Filler removal before a facelift It is not necessary to remove fillers prior to a face lift. In our practice,the face/necklift addresses tightening the SMAS and lifting the jowls, tightening loose facial and neck skin, tightening the neck muscles in 3 locations, and removing the fatty deposits in the neck above and below the platysma muscle including a platysma-plasty. Fillers placed in the cheeks have no bearing on a face lift. For many examples, please see the video and the link the below

Answer: Removal of Filler Before Facelift Thank you for your question.It is usually not necessary to completely remove the Fillers before a Facelift. Please make sure that your Plastic Surgeon understands where and how much Filler you have in place. It is not uncommon to use Fillers (Autologous Fat or others) with a Facelift in certain areas. Your Plastic Surgeon can advise you the best course of action based on your particular needs and his practice. All The Best !
