Is It Better to Have Filler First Before Lower Face Lift?

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.

  The choice is, of course, up to you to make.  Certainly, answering this question without the benefit of seeing photos, is even more difficult.  There is certainly nothing wrong with trying fillers and seeing if you are satisfied with them.  Please be careful with your expenditures as I have seen patients who come to me for a lift, sometimes after spending thousands of dollars on multiple fillers.
