Answer: Facelift After Stents If your Cardiologist is very opposed to your procedure, I would find out why. There is a very real difference between a medically unsuitable patient and a Cardiologist with a bias against Plastic Surgery. Since I have seen a number of instances of this implicit bias among Physicians, You may want to consider another opinion on your candidacy for surgery. If however, there is legitimate concern for your health, you should not have the surgery.

Answer: Facelift Safety When it comes to issues that can kill you, and issues that can improve the way you look, it is important to keep your priorities straight. I do not know the size of your stent, the location of your stent, the potential occlusion of your stent now, the occlusion before, whether you are on blood thinners, and numerous other factors that contribute to your health and safety. These lie in the realm of cardiology -- a very complex and important field. Should you wish to seek another opinion besides your cardiologist, I advise you to seek at least two other cardiologists' opinions, if not three. You must have thorough medical clearance before any legitimate plastic surgeon would operate on you. Although I do understand you wish to look better, do not pursue this if it is unsafe.
