I'm doing a facelift and Sculptra, which is better to do first?

Very good question. These two procedures are very compatible, since Sculptra or fat transfer restore youthful volume to the face to put the finishing touches on your anti-aging efforts. Fat transfer can often be performed during the facelift. If you opt for Sculptra, your best bet is to wait until you are fully healed from your surgery to undergo Sculptra injections. Keep in mind Sculptra takes a few months to take full effect, but at that point the results are long-lasting. Fat transfer results will be apparent right away and will continue to improve in the weeks following your treatment. Many patients find fat transfer provides permanent improvement. Make sure you work with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon and follow your doctor’s recommendations as you pursue all your aesthetic goals. 

Thank you for your question! I would recommend fat transfer at the same time as your facelift so you can restore volume to particular areas of the face. An added bonus is that you won't have to go through an additional recovery period. Sculptra can take multiple treatments and months to see the final result which is less than ideal. You are probably better off from a cost and result standpoint, to go with fat grafting. Hope that helps!
