Medrol After Neck Lift For 60 Year Old?

Question

I am a 60 yr old female and I would like to know if I have to take Medrol after a neck lift. I have Osteoporosis and read that it may worsen brittle bones. Would it be okay to refuse this medication or is there another one with less side effects? Thank you

Vivek Bansal, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Every case is unique, with bone conditions, and if you have Osteoporosis, you are losing bone/calcium, and this is something you should discuss with your prescribing doctor managing your Osteoporosis.  A neck lift should not adversely affect your medication, but you need both of your doctors to discuss your case. I hope this helps.

It should not be necessary for you to take steroids following neck lift. Sometimes intraoperative IV steroids are given to decrease swelling. This can aalso be optional.

Kurtis Martin, MD · Answer

I don't use a medrol dose pack with a face lift. More commonly we use steroid injections under the neck area to help healing. This will have no affects on your health.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

I do not use this medication after a face and neck lift.  Every surgeon has a different idea about postoperative regimen, and you should express your concerns to your surgeon.

As you can see, this is not a routine practice.  Yet it works for your surgeon.  With this knowledge, I'm certain you can request that you not take it as many surgeons do not use it and the outcomes are equally good.
