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?
To heal well from facelift surgery requires good bloody supply. Smoking hinders/diminishes this blood supply, hence hinders your healing. In worse case scenarios, smoking can increase your risk for delayed healing or skin necrosis. So please listen to your plastic surgeon and get on a smoking cessation program to kick the habit. Best of luck!
I have recently had a partial facelift that unfortunately did not correct my marionette folds. I have had filler in the past which also did not adequately reduce/correct these. I am considering having these folds excised. I realize that there is much controversy surrounding this procedure due to the issue of scarring. In my mind I would trade a small likely imperceptible scar for obvious and glaring marionette folds. I would appreciate any input. Thanks so much.
I highly discourage excision of these. Sounds like what you needed was a full facelift instead of a 'partial' one. Please consider a full facelift before attempting excision. Best wishes, Dr. H
Rosacea is under control, but I have thin skin. Thank you
Go ahead and schedule your facelift! It may flare up due to the stress of the surgery, but should subside in no time.
Kind regards, Dr. H
