Answer: Facelift and dentures I typically recommend leaving your dentures in during a facelift procedure. This provides support to your lower face and creates a more natural position when lifting the soft tissues around your mouth area. Removing the dentures could result in an unnatural pull or look to your facelift. Plus, I suspect you wear your dentures most of the time and you want the lift to be in balance with your mouth area. Good luck with your procedure.

Answer: Patients Who Wear Dentures Can Be Good Candidates For Facelift Surgery If you wear dentures, your dentures should definitely be replaced in the operating room after a general endotracheal intubation, and prior to commencement of your facelift. It is very common for patients to lose height and thickness in the bones of their maxilla and mandible as they age, and replacement of your dentures will give your surgeon a better understanding of the three dimensional spatial relationships of your facial skeleton at the time of your surgery.
