Lower Face Lift with RUE Lymphedema Post-BC

seattler
I have mild lymphedema (Stage 0) in my right arm post-breast cancer surgery (mastectomy, DIEP flap reconstruction). I've lost a bit of weight, which has worsened by hereditary turkey neck. I am considering a lower face lift or neck lift but am concerned about the impact to my lymphatic system. What are the risks for patients in my situation? Would a direct neck lift be a better option to address neck laxity, understanding its limited results?
