Can I Have a Lower Face Lift if I Have Controlled Diabetes ?

This is a great question.  Although it is necessary to pass this information on to your Surgeon, diet controlled Diabetes is not a contraindication to surgery.  You may have a slightly longer recovery than a non-Diabetic, but this is not universally true.

If your diabetes is well controlled without medication, you should be fine having this surgery performed.  For all of my patients with diabetes, I request that their physician provide the most recent HBA1C level for confirmation.

Thank you for your question. Yes, but you will have to have both your Diabetes managing doctor and your surgeon develop a plan for your care prior to and after the procedure.  Then you can have the procedure very safely. I hope this helps.
