Deep Plane Face lift when you have a Permanent Filler. What are the risks? Can it be done safely?

Elmar DoradoJan 10, 2018
Almost 14 years ago, I had Bio Alcamid injected in the cheekbone area. I never had any complaints or issues. I was warned, though, that I had to be careful about future procedures in the face, because of the risk of inflammation. Last year I had a procedure done (rhinoplasty) without any complications. I do worry about the safety of the deep plane face lift I'd like to have next. Mainly because this time the procedure is done very close or even in that same area. Thank you for your advice.

This would be ideally treated with a revisionary face/necklift. At this time, the ears can also be revised. You need to find a surgeon with ideally with at least of 6 years integrated plastic surgery training followed by an accredited aesthetic surgery fellowship. I highly recommend finding one...
