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: 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 !

Answer: Should I remove filler before face lift? Removing filler is really not possible. Filler is usually injected in small amounts in different levels of the tissues with each pass of the needle to inject the filler. Thus, as you can see it would be difficult to remove. Also, almost all fillers are not permanent. The material is broken down by the cells in the tissues and sometime replaced with native cells and material. What product did you have injected? Fillers or fat transfer are frequently used in conjunction with facelifts to help improve the result at by adding in more fullness to areas that need it. You should consult with an American Board of Plastic Surgery certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns, goals and options.
