Is bradycardia a problem when considering plastic surgery for a full facelift ? I have had a slow heart rate for my entire life. I'm 53. My heart rate jumps between 48 and 53. I have always had low blood pressure and heart rate.

I would recommend a SMAS flap face lift and neck lift with neck plastysmal plication.  I would also recommend a canthopexy of your lower lids and a revision upper lid blepharoplasty.  Finally, fat grafting to address forehead, glabella and tear troughs, nasolabial folds and lips.
