Hello, Should I do a fat transfer to the face first or deep plane facelift first?

Thank you for your question. A facelift and facial fat grafting can be performed at the same time. Fat grafting is actually a nice complement to the facelift, restoring natural volume to the face at the same time the facelift addresses loose skin. Make sure your doctor is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with extensive experience in these procedures to ensure an optimal outcome. 

A deep plane facelift lifts the midface including cheeks restoring volume to the upper midface which usually makes fat transfer to the upper cheeks unnecessary.   In probably 90% of facelifts I do some fat transfer around the mouth where ther is consistent volume loss with age.   In thin patients the lower cheeks can benefit of the patient looks gaunt.   In general I would do both at same time and occasionally supplement with additional fat 6 months later.   it is important to not add too much fat.   There is 30-50% volume retention on a fairly permanent basis.   If overdone it is extremely difficult to correct.
