I am 45 year male contemplating 2 jaw surgery to correct my asymmetry. I was wondering if a full facelift can be done around the same time, since both recovery can take place together.
Answer: Facelift and Jaw Surgery We frequently combine procedures with facelifts including eyelids, brows, nose reshaping, and chin procedures. However, it is probably best not to perform double jaw surgery at the same time as a facelift for several reasons. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, the underlying facial skeleton sets the base for the overlying soft tissues. Since double jaw surgery will change the relative positions of the upper and lower lips, chin, and mandible we would like this to be firmly established to be able to perform the best face-lifting surgery and assure the best possible results. Good luck with your surgeries.

Answer: Jaw Surgery and Facelift You would need to separate these two surgeries by at least 6 to 9 months apart. Jaw surgery causes a large amount of facial swelling which would negatively affect any soft tissue tightening surgery over it.

Answer: Can two jaw surgeries and a full facelift begun together? Upper and lower jaw surgery is performed by an oral surgeon under general anesthesia in the hospital setting with at least 1 or 2 night stay at a hospital. A facelift procedure is performed as an outpatient procedure. These 2 procedures should be separated in time by at least 3-6 months, and the jaw surgery should probably be done first.

Answer: 2 jaw surgery and facelift I would stage the two. The two jaw surgery is quite extensive work and that probably should be done first. I would wait at least 6 months to perform the facelift.

Answer: Can 2 jaw surgeries and full facelift be done together or around the same time? Hi and thank you for your question . I would definitely separate out the two surgeries . I would do the jaw surgery first because the swelling is very dramatic which in turn could keep your soft tissues from the face lift from healing properly . You would want your jaw in the place it's going to be in permanently so that the face lift could be done as per your new jawline for a nice smoothing effect . I hope this helps and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors . Also please make sure you consult with a double board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your face lift procedure . Also make sure to review their work and before and after photos .
