Nasolabial fold excision before or after face lift?

Asked By:647461anon in Los Angeles, California

I am getting a nasolabial fold excision AND face lift. Can this be done at the same time and if not, which is better to do in what order and why? Face lifting before will make the area tighter which will make a nasolabial fold excision scar worse in healing because the skin is tighter right?
