I Am Going to Have a Lower Face Lift. Would Having a Fraxel Treatment a Month Before Improve Healing - More Collagen Etc?

Madelaine
I am going to have a lower face lift. Would having a full face fraxel treatment a month before surgery leave my skin more robust at the time of surgery so healing is improved? Or would fraxel be counter productive because my skin may be too sensitive? How long after surgery before I could have a fraxel treatment? How long before surgery can I have a fraxel treatment?
