Preparing For Face Lift Surgery
Here at PlasticSurgery.com, we are dedicated to helping you learn all about face lift surgery, also known as a "rhytidectomy." If you are interested in undergoing a facelift, it is important to gather essential information about this procedure. The more you understand about facial rejuvenation surgery, the better prepared you will to undergo it.
In addition to attaining knowledge here on our Web site, a consultation with a highly qualified facial plastic surgeon is also beneficial. During an appointment, he/she will assess your facial appearance and quality, as well as your cosmetic desires, to determine if this procedure is right for you.
If it is established that you are an ideal face lift candidate, the physician may ask you to adhere to the following rules in preparation for surgery:
- Adjust medications (either refrain from certain medicines, or begin taking others)
- Undergo lab testing to ensure that you are healthy enough for surgery
- Refrain from smoking at least two weeks before and after surgery
- Avoid heavy sun exposure prior to surgery
If you have any questions about facelift surgery, the consultation is the ideal time to ask them. To help keep you on track during your appointment, we have developed a "Surgeon Questionnaire" that consists of common face lift questions to ask the doctor.
