I planned on a neck lift & chemical peel this summer. However I ended up having a craniotomy to clip a small unruptured aneurysm on May 2nd. In recovery I had a 3rd nerve palsy, hemiparesis, then a grand mal seizure after which I went into a coma/stupor for about 4 days. Is it safe and reasonable for me to have this cosmetic surgery now?
