Can a facelift be done if I wear a CPAP mask?

September 17, 2017
Asked By:rjlface in Charlotte, NC

I wear a CPAP mask which covers my mouth and nose. The straps at the top come from the nose and angle up over the ear. The straps at the bottom angle from below the bottom lip and up below the ear. Will this hinder the results of a facelift? I have to wear the mask daily so I can't go without it for the incisions to heal.
