Facelift While Botox or Fillers Still Active?

While it is possible to have the facelift done while the Botox and fillers are active, it would make it a little more difficult for your surgeon to assess your concerns and determine the extent of correction required during your surgery. For this reason, it's probably best to wait, just so that your surgeon can get a better understanding of what is needed.

Yes, a facelift with botox and fillers can be done safely. Many of my patients start with Botox or fillers and end up getting facelift later. Think of a facelift, botox, and facial fillers as different ways of improving your facial features. An experienced facial surgeon can easily assess and help you to have a great result.

Facelift, Botox and Fillers are Synergistic
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. The Botox will decrease the effects of muscle pull as you heal and should not compromise the results of your procedure.
