How long should I wait after a facelift surgery before I move forward with cheek and jaw implants?

Question

Getting a facelift in June and due to scheduling wanting to get cheek and jaw implants 2 months after if possible. I’m in good health 42 and an excellent healer.

It is important to provide your surgeon with a complete medical history, including any medications or supplements you are currently taking, as well as any prior surgical procedures or medical conditions. Your surgeon can then evaluate your individual health status and advise you on the appropriate timing for your procedures based on your unique situation.

In addition, you should follow your surgeon's pre- and post-operative instructions carefully to help minimize the risk of complications and optimize your healing process. It is also essential to allow your body enough time to fully recover from one procedure before undergoing another, as this can help reduce the risk of complications and improve overall outcomes.

Best of luck !

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. It is possible to insert the cheek and chin implants during your facelift surgery, essentially combining the procedures into one. Not only can doing so produce more enhanced results, but you would also be able to reduce your recovery time by undergoing a single surgery instead of two or more.

I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with an experienced, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. They will be able to discuss your surgical plans with you and help you decide on the best course of action.
