Hello, I’m thinking of getting a facelift, but I’m worried about it, making my fibromyalgia worse. Thoughts?
Answer: Face Lift Hello ! Thank you for your question Without your face photos it is very hard to make an evaluation of your case. If you could provide photos and more information I would be able to evaluate your case in a more appropriate way. But from my experience but in general, facial surgeries are not effective for the face very independent

Answer: Is it possible for a facelift to make my fibromyalgia worse? Hello @Thoughtful324078, thank you for your question. Although a facelift by itself isn't associated with fibromyalgia getting worse, some patients may experience worsening symptoms after any operation. To make a well-informed decision, it's critical to discuss your medical history and concerns with your plastic surgeon and primary care physician. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Always Possible Any type of surgical or nonsurgical treatment can cause nerve irritation and worsen or create neuropathic pain. Typically, this is in the form of numbness or tingling rather than a painful exacerbation. The exception to this would be a neuroma (scar tissue within the nerve) that can worsen nerve pain following a surgical procedure. Your best chance at avoiding this is to make sure that your fibromyalgia is well controlled with your oral pain medications prior to pursuing surgery.

While it is generally considered safe, it is important to note that any surgery comes with some risks and potential complications.
