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?
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.
Could face lift / eye lift surgery increase your risk of reactivating a possible biofilm infection or foreign body granulomas/nodules caused by a severe adverse inflammatory reaction to dermal fillers?
It is possible that a facelift could reactivate a previous infection if the facelift is in the area of the previous infection. It has been shown the ruptured appendix scars that are well healed and older than ten years can harbor previous bacteria. I would think that the possibility of this happening would be small. You would have had to be infected with bacteria and not an allergic reaction.
Rosacea is under control, but I have thin skin. Thank you
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.
