Can I survive a facelift if I'm on daily aspirin for my coronary artery disease?

Asked By:Pianoloverista in Columbus, Ohio

I had a CABG x 4 January 2021. Facelift tentatively scheduled for January 2023. I've been put on daily aspirin...2/day of 81mg. The surgeon requires me to stop aspirin for 10 days prior to surgery and 3 days after surgery. My cardiologist can't sign off on this, but says I can do it if I want to. At 63 (at the time of surgery), I'm too young to die! Can a compromise be made or do I need to give up my dream? Thanks...
