Can I go on a long hike 6 months after my Facelift?

February 5, 2014
Asked By:deenerbug in South Carolina, SC

I'm getting a lower face and neck lift on February 25th. My husband and I are planning on hiking the Coast to Coast walk across England (190 miles) in August. Is this feasible or foolhardy? I'm 52 and in good shape. Thanks!
