Answer: Fillers before a facelift There's nothing wrong with trying fillers before a facelift. Fillers can help 'lift' the tissues upwards and simulate a mini facelift; however, you'll need more filler before a facelift since the skin envelope is loose to lift the tissue. If you are serious about the facelift, do the facelift first then consider doing the fillers 6-8 weeks after the facelift when most of the underlying swelling has receded (no one can really see the swelling after 2 weeks but it's a good idea to let the remaining swelling in the face subside before filler injection).

Answer: Local Anaesthetic Lower Facelift Thank you for your question. Please could you post a picture so I can access, however in my opinion my patients above the age of 45 will opt for my local anaesthetic facelift. This gives the same results as a traditional facelift, therefore targeting the SMAS muscle and skin, giving a longevity of 10-12 years. The Concept Facelift, enables patients to have minimum swelling and bruising therefore overall reduce recovery period. My patients are back to work and their daily routine within 5 -7 days. Patients will normally have a chemical peel or filler after their facelift to give an overall refreshed result.Please make sure you 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

Answer: Facelift and Filler Timing Perhaps the best answer is to do both at the same time though before or after is also possible. One of the elements of aging is loss of volume in the cheeks, temples and sides of the chin. Fillers or fat transfer can be used to rejuvenate these areas. 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.
