How long do I need to wait after having a deep plane facelift to determine whether or not I need fillers?
Answer: Deep plane facelift Hi, When performed well, a deep plane facelift will rejuvenate the neck and jawline and reposition the fat in the midface. Ideally, it eliminates the need for fillers in the immediate post-operative period. Patients who have a lot of volume loss prior to surgery may benefit from fat transfer to the face. Fillers can still be injected into the lips and the upper face after the majority of the swelling has subsided (usually 8-12 weeks). Best,

Answer: When to Have Fillers After a Facelift? Generally I would suggest waiting 3 to 6 months, after all of the swelling has resolved. If this is something you are considering before surgery you might discuss the possibility of fat transfer at the time of surgery. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Fillers There can be subtle changes after a facelift that can persist up to a year. I would wait at least 6 months before making any decisions on a commercial filler or utilizing your own fat as a filler. My personal preference would be for you to see a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in facelifts to help you determine what you need and the best timing.

Answer: Fillers after facelift Hello and thank you for the question. This is a conversation that can certainly be started when you have your consultation about your facelift procedure. But as a rule, I would wait 3-6 months until about 75% of your swelling has subsided to consult a certified and reputable injector about the need for fillers. Good luck!

Answer: Filler after a Facelift I would recommend waiting until the swelling is resolved ( at least 3 months) before you decide to add filler. If I have a patient pre operatively that is very thin I also talk about fat transfer at the same time as the lift for volume restoration.

Answer: FILLERS AFTER A FACE LIFT After the face lift, there is some swelling that can add volume in some areas of the face, and in average, 3 months after the surgery about 75-80% of swelling is gone, then it will be a good time to check if there are areas that can benefit from a hyaluronic acid filler. In some patient the swelling may last a little longer, then waiting 6 months is a better time, to decide if there is need of a filler.
