Provided you are happy with the placement of the filler and the filler is not disrupted during the facelift, facelift would not be contraindicated. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
This thoroughly depends on where you have had the filler. If it has been injected in the perioral or nasolabial area, then facial rejuvenation is fine to do anytime as these fillers are not touched by facial rejuvenation or facelift techniques.
Most would say that it would be fine to proceed. It depends a bit on your particular face and where the Juvederm was placed. Often plastic surgeons will place fillers and fat to volumize the face at the time of the facelift. Some surgeons may want to have you wait if they have a specific question about your face and where the filler was placed. Best to ask your board certified, experienced surgeon and ask. Together, you will come up with a plan.
The juvederm in general is helpful to replace volume loss in your face. i would suggest however that you wait until you feel the Juvederm has dissolved before having a consult for your facelift. 4-6 months. As a surgeon I need to examine the face in its stable condition to determine the areas that require surgical lifting.
No problem. You age by three factors - sagging (through gravity and time), loss of volume (counteracted by fillers), and skin texture (determined by environmental and genetic factors). Your fillers should enhance your effect of the lifting if placed appropriately by addressing one of the causes of aging
