Planning your surgery
Facelifts are very individualized procedures. In your initial consultation
the surgeon will evaluate your face, including the skin and underlying bone,
and discuss your goals for the surgery.
Your surgeon should check for medical conditions that could cause problems
during or after surgery, such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, blood
clotting problems, or the tendency to form excessive scars. Be sure to tell
your surgeon if you smoke or are taking any drugs or medications, especially
aspirin or other drugs that affect clotting.
If you decide to have a facelift, your surgeon will explain the techniques
and anesthesia he or she will use, the type of facility where the surgery
will be performed, and the risks and costs involved. Don't hesitate to ask
your doctor any questions you may have, especially those regarding your
expectations and concerns about the results.
