Can you get a facelift after total jaw joint replacement?

V
Villanelle97Aug 17, 2022

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?

Could the Ultherapy treatment I had done years ago be responsible for scar tissue after my deep plane lift?

Would release of the ligaments, during a Deep Plane Facelift, have any possible negative impact on my jaw/TMJ?

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.

I am in my early 40s and looking at deep plane facelifts and upper blepharoplasty. Are there benefits to early surgery?

Good morning from Washington DC,Thank you for your question (it is a super common question by the way, so you are not alone). The short answer is that doing a lift while younger doesn't necessarily make things easier from a surgery standpoint. The likelihood of a "good" outcome isn't largely...

This is fairly common and is the inner edge of your platysma muscles. In some cases they are sutured together but they pull apart over time in some cases, especially if they are strong. This can be treated with Botox or a simple revision of the surgery to suture them back together, which is not...

Thank you for sharing your question and photos. This is one of the most common reasons facelifts and neck lift patients seek revision. Moving forward with a platysmaplasty or any procedure that only addresses the midline neck would be grossly insufficient to correct this issue. I have seen many...
