Is a facelift with Lupus possible?

Kdru
I'm 45 and have had Lupus SLE since I was 23 years old. My lupus has been under control for years but not without the help of a weekly methotrexate injection and 8mg methylprednisilone a day. I would like to explore getting a facelift, possibly just lower facelift. Before I spend lots of money on consultations, I would like to know if it's even possible to do this surgery on someone like me. Thanks for your time to help me!
