I am planning on getting 10 Empress veneers on my upper teeth and also plan on a facelift (a mini lift) to correct looseness in the jowls of my face. Is there an order in which to proceed? Is it better to get veneers put in before or after getting a mini lift?
Answer: There is no right answer If the lips are affected by the mini lift, my advice would be to do the veneers AFTER the plastic surgery. Much like periodontal treatment, where we want that part completed before we place restorations, having plastic surgery done in advance tells the dentist what the smile looks like and where to improve it.

Answer: Veneers always before cosmetic procedures Always before cosmetic procedures. Over time as we age the vertical dimension (the space between the upper and lower jaw decreases) increasing facial creases and frown lines. Porcelain veneers once placed if treatment planned properly can open and restore the vertical dimension. This process can take 10 years off an aging face improving not only wrinkles but lip support.

Answer: Teeth work All teeth work should be done first. Appropriate teeth and bite will change the shape of the mouth and lips. It will improve on the results of the face lift.

Answer: Do the veneers first We in the Beverly Hills community know this to be true. The plastic surgeon will want to see your lip line or smile line and this is done by looking at the edges of your teeth. Get the new longer veneers placed first so that the Invasive surgery will have a better result.
