Why Combine Botox® and Fillers with a Facelift?
While a facelift tightens skin and repositions facial tissue, it does not address fine lines, dynamic wrinkles, or volume loss. Injectables enhance surgical results by targeting:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Botox® relaxes facial muscles to smooth crow’s feet, forehead, and frown lines.
- Lost facial volume: Dermal fillers restore plumpness to the cheeks, under-eye hollows, and lips.
- Skin texture and hydration: Hyaluronic acid fillers improve skin hydration and elasticity for a refreshed look.
By combining these treatments, patients can achieve a more balanced, youthful appearance with results that are not only long-lasting but also look and feel natural, enhancing their confidence and self-esteem.
How Soon After a Facelift Can You Get Injectables?
The timing of Botox® and fillers after a facelift is carefully considered, taking into account individual healing. Most patients can begin treatments within 4 to 6 weeks, once swelling and bruising subside. This personalized approach ensures that the injectables refine results without interfering with recovery, providing a safe and effective enhancement to your facelift.
Which Injectables Work Best for Facelift Maintenance?
Different injectables serve unique purposes in enhancing facelift outcomes. Some of the most commonly used include:
- Botox®: Reduces forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines by limiting muscle movement.
- Juvederm® and Restylane®: Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume to cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds.
- Radiesse® and Sculptra®: Stimulates collagen production for long-term facial contouring.
- RHA Collection: A newer filler designed to move naturally with facial expressions, ideal for dynamic wrinkles.
Choosing the right combination depends on your aesthetic goals and the specific areas needing enhancement. Dr. Ross Stutman, with his expertise and understanding of your unique facial structure, will guide you in selecting the most suitable treatments for your desired results.
