Can facelifting be done after fat transfer? And if so how long is best to wait - of what is the minimum time people can wait?
Answer: Facelift after Fat Transfer A facelift after fat transfer will improve your final result. As we age, two important issues arise. One is skin laxity, and the other is facial vloume loss or atrophy. A facelift will reposition your skin and deeper structures, and fat transfer will augment your faical shape. These two procedures combined can result in very powerful results and natural improvement. My patients will typical undergo fat transfer at the time of their facelift procedure.

Answer: Facelift: adding fat transfer A facelift with fat transfer is a great combination approach to address loose muscle and loss of volume. Although I prefer to do these at the same time, since you've had fat transfer already, you can still do a facelift. I would recommend that your surgeon re-evaluate you in person at 2-3 months to determine how your healing process is going and what the best timing will be. This will often depend on which areas of the face that the fat was placed.

Answer: Timing of a Facelift After Fat Transfer A facelift can be performed after fat transfer, though at least a 3 month wait time would be recommended to allow for any swelling and potential scarring to subside. The type of facelift may depend on the area of fat grafting, the depth and the amount of volume retained from the fat. Typically, fat grafting does not take the place of a facelift, but they can compliment each other.

Answer: Facelift after fat transfer? Thank you for your question. Yes, A facelift can certainly be done after fat grafting to the face. In most cases a facelift will improve the fat grafting result. Once the swelling subsides some fascial laxity can recur and a facelift is the best way to tighten facial skin. The swelling from fat grafting can take at least 3 months and possibly 6 so I would recommend waiting 6 months to make certain all the swelling from the fat grafting has resolved.

Answer: Facelift and Fat Transfer Hi ~ Fat transfer or fat grafting is a great adjunct procedure to a facelift. As we age there is both volume loss and sagging of skin. A face lift will address the sagging skin and fat transfer will help replace lost volume. It is best to wait 4-6 months after fat transfer to proceed with a facelift. This will allow for ample healing time and all swelling to resolve.
