Query: How do I prepare for a facelift?
Context: Prior to a facelift surgery, smoking is an absolute contraindication. Any smokers should have abstained (including vaping) for at least 6 weeks prior. Eating healthy, and having medical problems such as high blood pressure and diabetes under good control are also essential.
