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.

Answer: CPAP Hi,The best advice I can offer is for you to bring your mask with you to your consultation with your surgeon. The surgeon can view how you wear it and offer his/hr advice and opinion. Good luck.

Answer: Facelift on CPAP Hello and thanks for the question. I do not think that CPAP use prevents you from considering a facelift surgery. The main issue will be managing the incisions in the immediate post-operative period. Generally the incisions for a facelift go around the ear. For the first week or so you will be asked to apply ointment to these areas. You will want to avoid too much pressure or pulling on these incision sites. There are many options for preventing problems with the incisions, including the use of some small gauze pads.
