Do older women (60+) who have facelifts still need dermal filler injections after the surgery?

Dermal fillers and facelifts are really addressing different issues, and if you want to look your very best you will likely need to continue addressing your skin and volume loss even after a facelift.

Surgical face and necklifting would help to shape the face and neck on a larger scale, while nonsurgical or minimally invasive procedures such as Botulinum injections, laser or chemical peels, fillers, and medical-grade skin care products would be used synergistically with surgery to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age/sun spots, and volume loss. These minimally invasive treatments can be undertaken either before or after surgery. If performed before surgery, these treatments can provide enough rejuvenation for many patients to delay or avoid surgery. However, for patients wishing to pursue more dramatic rejuvenation, especially in cases where gravity or laxity plays more of a role in the aging issues, surgery is typically undertaken first to help set the foundation for the face and neck, and fillers and other minimally invasive treatments are performed afterward to treat and maintain areas not addressed by surgical lifting.
