Hi, I'm 50 and considering a deep plane facelift. I had silicon cheek implants done when I was in my 20s ( which I'm still very happy with ) but will these make the facelift more challenging or put me at a higher risk for complications?
Answer: Probably not Hi, greetings from Istanbul, Turkey! Since cheek implants are placed directly on the cheekbones, they are located rather deep. While deep plane facelifts are named "deep", they involve the upper layers of the skin. I do not expect cheek implants to create a significant risk of complication, but you should definitely discuss this with your surgeon and get a thorough assessment. Hope this helps, best of luck!

Answer: Deep plane facelift after cheek implants thank you for posting this question. In short, any previously performed surgery or treatment will have more or less an influence onto facelift surgery. If your cheek implants have been placed directly over your cheek bones, the "deep plane" of the facelift is above. Cheek implants can be placed from inside the mouth, where the overlying tissue is not touched. This approach would work in your favor for your future facelift surgery. Any cheek implant that has been placed more superficial or a previous surgical approach required more soft tissue dissection will have an impact to some degree. It is best to have your case discussed with a board certified plastic surgeon who is familiar with both. I hope this helps.

Answer: Will having cheek implants make a deep plane facelift more challenging? Will I be at risk for complications? The simple answer is yes. There are a variety of procedures that are called “facelifts.” A well performed facelift which elevates and supports the deeper tissue of the face called the SMAS as well as removing the excess loose skin and adding appropriate amounts of volume to deficient areas of hollows and depressions not only turns back the clock, but also slow the aging process. However, the clock keeps ticking.

Answer: Facelift I’ve done many facelifts on patients with idiot cheek implants with no problems. This won’t be a challenge for an experienced surgeon.
