Cochlear Implants and Facelift Surgery?

A facelift incision pattern can be altered to accomodate a cochlear implant.  The cochlear implant typically is placed in the mastoid area.  I prefer to avoid the implant altogether to avoid any possible disruption or infection but there is not a right or wrong answer here.

I personally have not done a facelift in a patient with a cochlear implant but the incisions can be tailored to accommodate the safety of the implant.

There is no contraindication to having a facelift if you have cochlear implants.  The facelift incisions can be modified to avoid the area if necessary.
