I'm interested in augmenting my jaw and possibly getting a facelift if the future. I play the flute and I'm concerned that these procedures may cause problems with the muscles needed for playing.

Answer: Facelift and Jaw Implants Neither jaw implants or a facelift will adversely affect the movement of the muscles of facial motion and expression. Jaw implants are done way beneath where the facial nerves run and facelift is done above them. Also neither the skin tightening effects or the addition of volume under the facial tissues will create a problem with facial movement.

Answer: Facial movement A jaw implant won't affect your ability to play the flute long term. Yes, you will need around 4 weeks to recover but there is no risk to the nerves or muscles responsible for playing the flute.A facelift is a different story, there is a theoretical (and very real) possibility of damage to the facial nerve which is responsible for facial muscle movement. Although rare you must be aware of this as a risk factor after facelift surgery.
