Is it necessary to remove filler from the face before the facelift procedure? How long voluma last for? Thank you!
Answer: Removing Filler Before Facelift No, filler does not have to be removed before a facelift. However, you should be aware that the areas treated with filler may lose some volume as the filler dissolves. Voluma can last up to two years.

Answer: Fillers and facelift Many patients have fillers prior to getting facelift. In my practice, I am able to perform a good facelift without removing any previously injected fillers. Facelift will tighten the SMAS that improves facial laxity. Fillers and fat grafting are used in conjunction with facelift to improve the volume deficit.

Answer: Does filler need to be removed from your face prior to a facelift? #facelift #necklift #filler #Voluma Thank you for your question. This is one I hear quite often from my patients. The short answer to your question is, no, filler does not need to be removed before a facelift. The filler you have already have placed should not affect the surgical procedure. The only caveat is you may have a slight deflation in the cheeks when your Voluma subsides. Voluma typically will last one year, and we recommend having a touch up at that point. Be sure to consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who specializes in facelifts and filler placement. Discuss your concerns with him/her about your filler placement, as well. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Answer: Fillers before facelift I do not think that fillers should be dissolved prior to a facelift unless fat transfer is going to be performed at the same time as the facelift.
