Can I do dental work and facelift at the same time?

Question

I'm thinking to do dental work(implants) and facelift lift with eyelids and nose job, can I do all at one time or within few days? Which one should I do first? Dental or facelift first? Thanks!!! Sydney

Make sure whichever you do first is healed before proceeding with more treatment. I would probably recommend the plastic surgery first so you don't have any temporary work in your mouth. If you'll be under general anesthesia and need to be intubated, it can be dangerous to have temporary fillings or crowns in your mouth. You either want all dental work completed before surgery, or have the surgery and let it heal for several weeks before starting dental treatment.

Hi Sydney,
Much of what makes a smile look natural is the way that it interacts with
the proportions and angles of the face. An experienced, accredited cosmetic
dentist will take into account your face shape, length, and symmetry to craft a
beautiful, natural-looking smile that is in harmony with your face. Since
facial plastic surgery will change the anatomy of the face, it should be
performed prior to having a smile makeover performed. You also want to wait
until you are fully healed and satisfied with your facial plastic surgery
before moving forward with cosmetic dentistry. Once you are ready to move
forward, make sure you find an experienced cosmetic dentist that has performed
many smile makeovers and whose reviews and before and after pictures appeal to
you. Good luck!
