Can I have a facelift if I have high blood pressure or heart disease?

  Both high blood pressure and heart disease are contraindications to surgery, and this is true not only for plastic surgery, but for any surgery. Some candidates may say, “Well, what if I have a car accident, can’t I have surgery either?  No, if it is a life-safety surgery, of course, this kind of disease cannot be the main concern, and the doctor needs to make a specific assessment and try to salvage it in a safe way.  But if it is a regular elective surgery, the surgeon has to focus on the safety of the surgery. Your blood pressure needs to return to normal, your heart can tolerate the surgery, and the surgery will be performed when everything is assessed and passed.  For cosmetic surgery, it is a procedure that can be done or not, we also call it the icing on the cake. If you are in normal health and want to become more beautiful, you can consider this type of surgery. However, we must be careful when it comes to the safety aspects of the surgery.  I often hear some beauty seekers complain to me that their husbands say: I don’t mind you being ugly, why are you doing that? In fact, this is true for cosmetic surgery. If you are physically able to tolerate the surgery, then consider the surgery. If you are not well, do not do this kind of surgery, life is always much more important than “beauty”.  For many years, I have seen many “addicted” beauty seekers, or “beauty junkies” as we call them in the industry, who dare to try and do anything for the sake of beauty, but as a doctor, I think doctors really need to The “bottom line”, know what can be for, what not for.
