Is it safe to get a facelift after Bellafill?

It would be safe to get Bellafill and get a facelift. Bellafill is a great option for acne scarring. You could also consider laser resurfacing along with a facelift to improve the acne scars.

A facelift can often still be performed after Bellafill, but I would be cautious about placing Bellafill shortly before a planned facelift. Bellafill is long-lasting and can create firm areas, inflammation, or nodules in some patients, and your surgeon will want to know exactly where it was injected before operating.

If a facelift is likely within a year, it is usually better to discuss the acne-scar plan with the facelift surgeon first. Temporary fillers or other scar treatments may be easier to adjust before surgery, while Bellafill is harder to reverse. The safest plan depends on the injection depth, scar location, and the facelift technique being planned.

A facelift one year after bellafill or other fillers should be safe. By this time tissue healing has occurred and a skilled surgeon should be able to perform a facelift without issue.

The answer depends on who is doing the Bellafill, their level of expertise, and the areas being injected. The general answer is "yes", but since Bellafill is a permanent substance made from polymethylmethacrylate, making it a double edged sword.

In my opinion, it would be fine to have Bellafill used to treat acne scars and then have a facelift in the future. When Bellafill is used to treat acne scars, it is placed very superficially. The surgical plane for a facelift is much deeper, so the Bellafill should not affect the facelift surgery.

For acne, Bellafill is injected into the deep dermis, which should not affect any facelift technique. It can be argued that it would decrease elasticity and negate any pulling of the skin, but that should be negligible.

It's always best check with your operative surgeon, but it should not be a problem having a facelift after filler injection

Plastic surgeons commonly perform facelifts in patients with prior filler. It has never been a problem in my experience so there should be no need for concern

Facelift following intradermal fillers is safe. We recommend discussing your individual concerns with your injector and surgeon.

Hi there! Assuming you don't have a reaction to the Bellafill, you should be fine. Sometimes, there can be robust inflammation and nodules which develop. They can be treated with time, massaging, and steroids for resolution - though, they don't always go away. This doesn't preclude you from surgery, but it may make the procedure more difficult. Hope this helps!
