Facelift
Will Evaluation for Lower Facelift surgery Be Accurate if I Have Fillers?
In most cases having filler will not greatly change the ability to determine your needs for a facelift. Be sure to disclose to your treating surgeon the amount of filler, the location and the type used. With this information you should be able to get a good plan for facial rejuvenation.
Clinical Context
Surgeons rely mainly on a hands-on exam to assess skin, fat, and muscle position, since filler can mask true tissue quality. Imaging like ultrasound is sometimes used to locate deeper or migrated filler, but it doesn't replace physical exam. Sharing details about how much filler you've had, where, when, and what type helps your surgeon plan safely and set realistic expectations for your results.
