Can I take Prednisone following a face lift? (Photo)

Asked By:2noels

As an asthmatic once or twice a year I take Prednisone 5ml x 6 for a week then weening off a second week, forgot to ask my surgeon about this having just had a mini face lift. I wondered if these drugs would quicken scar healing as going overseas in 2 weeks? Btw I check bone density once a year and am sporty but didn't want to take this drug if I'll advised for cosmetic surgery.
