Should all filler be removed before facelift?

December 27, 2014
Asked By:fluffysmom in Edinburgh, GB

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.
