Is the use of dermal filler safe after orthognathic surgery?

yes you can use fillers on the bone/metal or in the superficial tissue to get more shaping. I suggest you consult with us on full facial sculpting.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I appreciate your concerns and an in person visit would be needed to confirm my advice. I do not think that your previous orthognathic surgery history would be a contraindication to fillers, however you would need to be certain to select a doctor with lots of experience, especially with facial anatomy. I also do not think that it is necessary to remove your facial hardware prior to facial filler treatment.It sounds like fat transfer might be a better option, especially if you need a higher volume of filler. It is important to be cautious with vascular anatomy with or without previous surgery, and an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon is your best option with this regard and facial fat transfer as well. Good luck.

Hi, there. Yes definitively not an issue getting filler injection under eyes. It’s not an absolute contraindication but biofilm risk is there but uncommon.
Certified aesthetic/plastic surgeon knows well of the normal anatomy to avoid vascular complications but again there is always some risk! It would be best that you could visit any certified doctor/surgeon in your community to get a thorough consultation. Hope it helps, cheers. Thank you

These are all excellent questions. There should be no contraindication to injectable filler in these areas. The hardware will form a scar capsule. The injections should be placed above this layer. Proper injection technique should avoid the issues you are concerned with. If you are looking for a more permanent solution, consider autologous fat. It’s slightly more involved but will give lasting permanent correction to any soft tissue volume deficits that are present. Both HA and fat are good options. Be sure to see an experienced plastic surgeon who understands the surgery you’ve had and understands the anatomy. Best of luck!

There's absolutely no better filler to be used in the face and especially around the eyes than the patient's own fat. When fat grafting is performed by an expert plastic surgeon, the results are natural and practically permanent. There are no instances of complications that are frequently seen with man-made fillers. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City plastic surgery
