Face Lift After Kidney Transplant?

The time between having electoral #cosmetic surgery after a major surgery depends on the surgery. Its best to consult with the surgeon or specialist you recently had the major surgery with to gain perspective as to when cosmetic surgery can be scheduled. 

Long-term use of steroids does cause a 'moon face' syndrome.  This fat could be removed if you are able to get medical clearance from your doctor

The fat in the location you describe is located deep to the layer typically treated by non-invasive or minimally invasive techniques such as radiofrequency abalation (Thermage). This may make your skin appear even thinner which is undeseirable. Surgical removal of the buccal fat, possibly using an intra-oral approach, could be beneficial for this but does involve surgery. I do not recommend liposuction especially if you remain on prednisone.

Dear patient, I recommend a minimally invasive procedure for you. I have treated a few patients who had your situation. Conservative treatment is the best treatment. Laser lipo of the fatty pocket with laser resurfacing or Thermage would be a good option. 

As others Surgeons have noted, the first step in this process is a consultation with your Nephrologist and Transplant Surgeon.  No cosmetic surgical procedure is worth sacrificing your health.  It is possible that a neck lift will help you.  Liposuction of the face is a very limited procedure due to the risk of contour irregularities.
