How long should I wait in between a dental bone graft with implant placement and a deep plane facelift?

Question

Hi there, I am wondering how long one needs to wait between a dental bone graft with implant placement and a deep plane facelift? Also which procedure should be done first? Thanks

Do the dental graft + implant first, then wait at least 4–6 months before a deep plane facelift.That gives the bone time to heal and lowers the risk of issues.Always good to have your dentist and surgeon coordinate timing.

I would suggest having your dental work done first to avoid manipulation of a freshly operated face.  There is no relationship or adverse effects of having a dental implant and deep plane facelift that you need to concern yourself with.

If you’re planning to get a dental implant with a bone graft, it’s best to have that done before a procedure like a deep plane facelift, and allow 3 to 6 months for proper healing. This is important because the facelift involves deep work in the mid and lower face, and we want to avoid interfering with the integration of the implant or graft.
If the facelift is done first, we usually recommend waiting at least 6 to 8 weeks (ideally up to 3 months) before moving forward with any dental work in that area.
As always, the safest option is to have your surgeon and dentist coordinate directly, based on your individual case

It's probably best to wait about a month in between the 2 surgical procedures to optimize full recovery. Choose your facelift surgeon very wisely based on extensive experience producing natural results. Look for a Facial Plastic Surgeon with an extensive portfolio  of before and after facelift photographs that you really like.
