Hello, I had TJR over a year ago and healed good. I have some sagging, particularly in my midface and would like a facelift. I do know a lady who had TJR plus a facelift at the same time, but do not know of anyone who has had one after. Would you consider someone who has titanium joints as a candidate for facelift surgery? Also is temple filler safe after TJR?

It's true. Mainly the scar tissue is secondary to your previous surgery. But all the treatments that generate direct aggression to the skin also cause fibrosis, complicating the surgery.
Thank you for sharing your question. This is a fantastic question and highlights some of the most common concerns that patients considering facelift and facelift revision will ask.
A deep plane facelift is likely the most appropriate facelift to address the concerns of:
- restoring a "v-shape"...
Releasing the ligaments should not have any effect on the jaw joint. However, keep in mind that it is somewhat common to have some degree of jaw muscle soreness after both deep plane facelift and traditional SMAS facelift techniques. A soft diet is recommended for all patients for 7-10 days.
