I am getting a CO2 Laser Treatment and have had a full facelift with fat transfer 5 months ago. Is it safe?

Question

Can I get CO2 Laser Treatment and Fat Transfer and lower eye surgery at the same time?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, this should be fine, depending on your practitioner. We often perform procedures at the same time. Keep in mind, fat transfer technique is important for successful fat transfer. I recommend water-assisted fat harvesting which gives pure fat to transfer and combine with platelet rich plasma (PRP) to get the most viable and sustainable fat cells. Typically I recommend adding clear and brilliant, fraxel, viva 4-6 weeks after co2 to improve results along with microneedling/prp to get the best outcomes with texture and tone.  Please see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

CO2 fractional laser is a great procedure for improving your skin texture, minimizing lines and wrinkles, and decreasing the effect of sun damage. It is very safe after a facelift or any type of fillers including fat transfer. Actually it is necessary after a surgical face lift as surgery repositions your muscles but does not improve your skin quality.
