Can I have a facelift even though I had facial fillers in my cheeks and nasal folds?

Thank you for your question.  A facelift  can still be performed when filler is in the cheeks and nasal folds, however I was always suggest taking the filler out or waiting for it to dissolve.  Filler adds volume to an area therefore once the volume has been taken away there will be less volume.  Facelift and fillers work hand in hand to produce a complete facial rejuvenation, however facelift then fillers to add volume would ensure lasting longing results.Please find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you properly to give you a realistic idea of what outcome you can achieve.All The Best 

Yes, a facelift can be done after fillers. A facelift will improve the jawline, extra skin around the cheeks and the neck profile. Fillers are commonly placed in the lines around the mouth, cheeks, under eyes and lips. So one procedure will not interfere with the other.

Yes you can have a facelift after having fillers in your cheeks and nasolabial folds. When the filler goes away there will be a little less volume. You can have fat transferred during or after your facelift for more permanent #facialrejuventation. I typically perform fat transfer as part of my facelift procedure whether traditional or a mini scar technique (most common). The reason is that part of the aging process is loss of fat in the temples and cheek regions which varies from person to person. There is a limit of how much fat can be safely injected into one area. The amount of fat that remains over time is variable from patient to patient. For some patients, more fat or other fillers may need to be transferred in a subsequent surgery to maintain or supplement the desired results.The survival of fat transfer (lipoinjection) is highly technique sensitive so choose the plastic surgeon with the most experience in this technique.

It is not uncommon to do both a facelift after fillers were placed previously. It all depends on the patient. Some patients need lifting of tissues, some need excess skin taken off, some need volume. Speak at length with your experienced surgeon. Let him/her know what has been dome previously. Share with him/her your goals. Together you will come up with a plan.

Yes, in fact many patients utilize fillers and injectables prior to their decision to have a facelift.  Fillers address deep folds in the skin or lack of volume in areas of the face.  A facelift will correct excess skin and sagging in the lower face and neck.  Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to explore your options.Best of luck,
