Can I get a facelift if I had Thermage 6 years ago?

You should be able to have a facelift after Thermage. You have waited a signifcant amount of time and any scarring associated with this therapy should have remodeled sufficiently. The soft tissue in the neck may have additional scarring that may make dissection a bit more challenging but should preclude having a face and neck lift.

Thermage is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin, but it's much more superficial compared to a surgical facelift.Since your last Thermage session was 6 years ago, the treated tissue has fully healed and regenerated by now. This would not pose a problem for undergoing a facelift today.There’s no increased risk of complications due to your past Thermage treatments.Of course, before proceeding with a facelift, we evaluate skin quality, tissue elasticity, and overall facial anatomy. Previous energy-based procedures like Thermage are usually not an obstacle.Still, an in-person consultation is essential to create a personalized treatment plan that suits your needs.

Dear Trustworthy1493, thank you for your question!
Yes, you can absolutely have a facelift after having Thermage treatments, especially since your last session was six years ago.
By this point, any collagen remodeling or tissue changes from Thermage will have stabilized, and an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon will be able to assess your anatomy and plan your surgery accordingly. There are no specific complications tied directly to previous Thermage treatments when enough time has passed, and many patients who’ve tried non-surgical skin tightening eventually pursue surgery for longer-lasting, more significant results.
Be sure to discuss your full aesthetic history with your surgeon during the consultation so they can tailor the procedure safely and effectively for you. You're on the right track!
