I recently learned I might need a thyroidectomy. I've been planning to have a facelift and liposuction on several places of my body in the near future. Will plastic surgeons still perform a facelift and liposuction on patients who have had this type of surgery?

Answer: Facelift Having had a thyroidectomy will not prevent you from having a facelift later in life. If it was recently, then waiting 6 months might be beneficial.

Answer: Thyroidectomy not a contraindication to facelift Your medical doctor may recommend that you have the thyroidectomy first and wait at least 6 months not only to assure you are well healed, but also to make sure that your thyroid hormone and calcium regulation are appropriate. Once you have medical release from your physician, there should be no contraindication to having cosmetic surgery.
