Planning on having facelift/neck lift/blepharoplasty. Does this pin need to come out first? (Photo)

March 5, 2024
Asked By:Joyful88

I am planning on having Facelift/neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty with fat transposition, endoscopic eyebrow lift and fat injections to face. I had minor foot surgery 3 weeks ago to remove screw from previous bunionectomy and a pin placed in a previous hammertoe repair to straighten the toe. The pin is still in place otherwise everything else is healed over well. Is it necessary to have that pin removed prior to face surgeries? Ideally the foot doctor wants it to remain another week.
