Title: Fillers/Eyebrow Tattoo before FFS
Post by: Jandy on September 10, 2017, 05:24:40 PM
Hey All,

This may be a stupid question.....but I normally have botox and fillers every 6 months or so, I don't think there is much point having Botox so close to my FFS next month as my face is going to be rejigged anyway, I was however considering having fat injections in my lips rather than my usual filler but have heard that results aren't great.

Therefore I wondered if it would still be ok to have filler put into my lips before I go or should I wait until I return ?

Also I have been considering having my eyebrows tattooed for quite a while, again would you recommend waiting until after surgery ? I'm just concerned that my skin etc will be much to sensitive for a long while after surgery to have my eyebrow tattoo done.. ?

I would until after the FFS and after the FFS swelling has gone down. You may want to call the doctor and ask her.

If you don't get a lip lift the filler in your lips will not be a problem for the FFS. However tattooing your eyebrows before forehead reconstruction is not a good idea because the surgery will affect the position of your eyebrows.
