46, female, considering facelift. Should I have invisalign treatment first?

Great question and one that I get asked a lot. Dental work can be done before or after the facelift, it does not affect the results. I do ask my patients to wait 2-3 weeks after the facelift to get their dental work done as they are still in the acute healing phase the first few weeks and it would be more comfy for them to wait. Having it done before, the lift, is also a fine option and does not affect the results of either procedure. Good luck!

I don't really think it makes any difference. They can even be done fairly close to one another. Make certain the orthodontist as well as a plastic surgeon know what you have planned.

Often patients who are getting Invisalign are
doing so to address relatively minor dental problems, rather than more
major upper or lower jaw repositioning. If this is the case, then the timing
would not be critical. You may prefer not to wear the Invisaline devices for
the first two or three days after your surgery, while you are in the early
stages of recovery. Best Wishes

Invisalign can be done during the time you are having the facelift done.  No need to have one completed before the other.

Both could be done at around the same time.  I do not foresee any issues if the invisalign is done before or after a facelift procedure.That being said, if your surgeon is considering a chin implant as the same time, and via an intraoral approach, I would consult with him/her first.  Hope this helps!

Hello,It should not matter whatsoever whether you do Invisalign before or after face lift surgery.  The amount of tooth movement will not affect lip/cheek contours.Best of luck! 

You can do these in any order u wish. Select an experienced facelift surgeon who does natural work. 

You can do these procedures in any order. They do not affect each other.  Make sure you do inform your surgeon. Good luck!

In my opinion, you could have invisalign done either before or after a facelift.  I would not see any advantage to having one before the other and the procedures should not affect each other.
