Is HRT Safe During and Before a Full Face Lift?

msmmi in sf
my present physician , to my surprise, told me i must be entirely off all hrt for both 2 weeks post and pre op to achieve significant results. i have not heard this before ever, from all the doctors i have consulted with.. my condition is closely monitored and hrt is well within normal limits and helps me greatly.my condition is stable.. my pcp or hormone sees no justifiable medical reason to warrent d/c hormones, as they pose an insignificant risk.What are the consensue of opinion out here?
