Mini Face-Lift Risks for Type 1 Diabetics?

I don't think that statement is entirely accurately. However, type I diabetes should not necessarily preclude you from having a mini lift. Elevated blood sugar levels from uncontrolled or poorly controlled diabetes can negatively impact wound healing. Therefore, it is important that you be evaluated by your primary care doctor or endocrinologist to ensure that your blood sugar levels have been within a normal range. As long as this is the case, it is unlikely that you will have any more risk with the operation than someone without diabetes. Good luck.

Diabetes, if well controlled, by your primary care doctor may not impact your final result.  However, uncontrolled diabetes is a contraindication for any surgical procedure.

Patients with Type 1 Diabetes can have a Mini Lift as long as their blood sugars are under control in both the pre and post operative periods. In fact the stress from surgery can elevate blood sugars and it is important that all the doctors involved in a diabetics surgery work together to make for smooth sailing.

Take care,
