Input please, regarding IPL treatment a week before face and neck lift.

I have a face and neck lift scheduled in two weeks and an IPL scheduled for next week. I’ve had IPLs before with great results and minimal irritation after procedure. My surgeon is on vacation till next week, so I can’t get his opinion immediately- but the aesthetician says there is no problem with doing IPL ten days prior to surgery. Your general opinions are appreciated... and I’ll ask my surgeon too as soon as he returns- a couple of days before scheduled IPL. Thank you.
