Controlled AFib on medication - is it safe to get a facelift revision?

I am wanting to get a revision facelift, neck, and brow lift. I develop AFib 4 years ago only had one episode. I have never had another episode I am currently taking Flecainide and Eliquis and I am doing great. Is it safe to go under general anesthesia. I decided not to do an Ablation since my meds have done great. I will get a clearance from my Electrophysiologist But was wanting to know have Plastic surgeons dealt with issues with controlled AFib and facelifts.

I would not recommend a skin-only lift, as this approach generally results in widened scars and an unnatural appearance. The perioral area is particularly challenging because it’s highly mobile, making lines difficult to improve with a single procedure. A combination of treatments often p...

I sometimes will need to do a revision early in a case like yours. It’s certainly worth considering if you have a good relationship with your surgeon
