Question

Andrew Miller, MD · Answer

You would be able to have a necklift, but you would have to get a clearance from your cardiologist, allowing you to hold the Aspirin for 10 days before and after the case, and the blood thinners 4-5 days before and after the case. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

John Michael Thomassen, MD · Answer

As long as you obtain cardiac clearance that you can be off the thinners and ASA for enough time in the pre and postoperative setting, you can do the procedure safely.

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD · Answer

The key to these procedures is to coordinate with your heart doctor.  We work with them to develop a safe plan and approach.

William Portuese, MD · Answer

You need to be off all blood thinners for two weeks before and two weeks after surgery, and cardiac clearance from your cardiologist before undergoing elective cosmetic surgery on your neck.
