Why Can't I Have Neck or Facelift as a Smoker?

I've had both upper and lower eye lid surgery, arm reduction and a tummy tuck. I am a smoker and am 51 years old. I've healed fine in all cases. Why can't I have a neck or facelift?

A: Facelift/smoker

Having any surgery and continuing to smoke is a bad idea.  The healing process is compromised due to constricting the blood vessels and blood supply.  The healing time will be much longer.

Is It Safe for a Woman with Rosacea to Have a Face and Necklift?

Rosacea is under control, but I have thin skin. Thank you

A: Rosacea and Face Lift surgery

There is no contra-indication to having a facelift if you have rosacea.  It is possible that the rosacea will worsen for a short time after the surgery, but this is usually not the case.  This is what we have seen in our practice.  Logically, since the lifting in a facelift (if done properly) is from the deeper tissues, the skin shouldn't be affected.
