I had Voluma injected approximately 6 months ago. (2 syringes). I've decided to just go ahead and do a SMAS facelift. I've had consults with two surgeons that have been in the business for a while and they said that there is no need to dissolve injections. My 3rd consult was with a much younger surgeon who has a lot less time in the field but he only does facial work. His response was to dissolve the injections in order to see the natural face before performing the lift. I'm not sure what to do.
Answer: Dissolving filler pre-surgery I would advise there is no need to dissolve the filler. As t is was done 6 months ago it will not be as noticeable and will not make any difference to the outcome post Facelift surgery. All the best

Answer: Fillers before a facelift You do not need to dissolve the fillers prior to your procedure. Voluma is a temporary filler and the amount used 6 months ago is unlikely to have a significant impact on the final outcome of your surgery.

Answer: Should I Dissolve Cheek and Lip Injections Before SMAS Facelift? – No Need to Dissolve Voluma or HA Fillers There is no need to dissolve your fillers before your rhytidectomy (facelift). While Voluma can do an excellent job of filling out the midface, two syringes does not make a difference significant enough that it would affect how your facelift is performed or influence the final results. The lip fillers will not affect surgery at all, either. I hope this helps.

Answer: Do fillers need to be dissolved before having facelift surgery? I do not think that hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvederm need to be dissolved prior to surgery. Most experienced facelift surgeons should be able to "guesstimate" the amount of volume that is being added by the filler. This is assuming that the fillers have not been over done. Different facelift techniques can change the volume in different parts of the face and this can be taken into consideration by the surgeon. It is important to tell your surgeon if you have fillers to discuss your options.

Answer: Voluma Injections Before a Facelift Voluma is a hyaluronic acid filler that is long lasting and typically injected in the deeper facial plane. Voluma is typically injected in the deeper plane of cheek and midface and there would be no need to dissolve it prior to a facelift as it will dissolve over time and its effect will have no bearing on facelift planning.The term SMAS facelift really tells me nothing. The main question would be how far the SMAS is mobilized and in what plane. There are so many SMAS facelift techniques with the majority not having any effect on the cheek. A high SMAS will mobilize the cheek but should be more superficial that the Voluma and the SMAS will move over the filler. Voluma is hard to dissolve anyways. Good luck with your facelift
