Immunocompromised patients - potential risks with endoscopic brow lift, eyelid surgery and deep plane facelift?

January 15, 2024
Asked By:Nurturing961616 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I am 70 y.o. and on methotrexate (an immunosuppressant drug) to manage my psoriasis and arthritis. I understand that bleeding, wound healing and infection are the potential risks I face if I undergo surgery. As I am considering an endoscopic browlift, eyelid surgery and a deep plane facelift, I would like to know if complications are inevitable and if the results could be compromised as a consequence. Is it best to avoid the surgery altogether?
