Asked By:11024 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Hello, I am 52. I am interested in having a deep plane face lift. When I was 21 yrs I had radiation treatment on my neck for Hodgkin’s Disease lymphoma. I understand that this would have caused some scarring. I also had PDO threads one time last summer. Have you or any surgeons you know done a deep plane face lift in this case? Any research on topic? Would it be too risky for a successful healing? Please let me know any concerns of things to think about. Thank you! Tam
