Answer: Does a person have to stop using Botox and fillers before they seek a facelift consultation... A patient does not have to stop using Botox or fillers prior to having a facelift. Botox and fillers are injected around the eyes and frown lines, while a facelift mainly targets the jowls and neck. This means that undergoing a facelift would not interfere with the action of the fillers or Botox. Sometimes we even inject fillers at the same time as a facelift with no interactions at all. It is important to go to someone who is experienced in combining these modalities when thinking about proceeding with surgery.

Answer: Botox before facelift OK, careful with fillers Because Botox relaxes muscles that cause wrinkles in a way that surgical facelifts do not, there isn't usually any problem planning a facelift. However facelifts often include the addition of volume with fat grafting so it is important for your plastic surgeon to know if you have fillers.

Answer: Botox and filler before face lift Dear Linda, As you can see from the previos responses, it is quite controversial. In my opinion and experience, botox caries no consequences for face lift. On the contrary, fillers can significantly alter the face , especially after the , so called, "liquid face lift" . So, in my practice, I ask my face lift patients to stop the fillers injection 3 - 6 months before surgery for restylane and juvaderm and 6 - 9 months for radiase. Consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons and check the before and after pictures to make sure that you like the results. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Preparing for Facelift Consultation There shouldn't be any need to stop Botox injections prior to a facelift consultation. Just inform your facial plastic surgeon of your prior treatments.
