If you’re scheduled for a deep plane facelift or a neck lift: proceed with your BOTOX treatment as usual. There is no need to have a gap. If you’re undergoing an eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a browlift, please refrain from BOTOX treatments starting 3 months before your surgery.

Please refrain from any dermal filler 6 months before surgery. Dr. Chance may recommend dissolving some or all of your dermal fillers in the month leading to surgery, depending on their appearance, amount, and location.

If you are undergoing a deep plane facelift or a neck lift, there are absolutely no issues with microblading. You can microblade up until 2 weeks prior to your procedure. For those seeking eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) or a browlift, please avoid microblading before your procedure. If you currently have microbladed brows, avoid touch-ups within 6 months of your procedure.

Dr. Chance is an advocate of anti-aging Co2 laser resurfacing. Laser resurfacing can occur anytime up to 6 weeks prior to your surgery. However, you should not pursue facial IPL or vascular laser treatments in the 6 weeks before your procedure.
