Dermal Fillers Prior to Ptosis/Blepharoplasty?

Question

I won a full face of dermal fillers at a local aesthetic spa, however the appointment date available is one month prior to my scheduled ptosis and upper blepharoplasty surgery. If it’s not injected near my eyes or forehead, would it have any potential effect on my surgery?

James R. Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAO · Answer

Thank you for sharing your good question. You can have fillers injected in the lower half of your face prior to the eyelid surgery. Confirm this with your surgeon. 
Good luck!

Randal Haworth, MD, FACS · Answer

Injecting dermal fillers away from the eye or forehead area should not directly impact your ptosis and upper blepharoplasty surgery. However, it's crucial to inform both the spa providing the fillers and your surgeon about your upcoming surgery and the scheduled date. They can provide specific guidance to ensure that the fillers won't interfere with your surgical plans. Communication between your aesthetic spa and your surgeon is essential to coordinate your treatments effectively and minimize any potential risks or complications.

Best of luck !
