- Consultation: A detailed consultation with a cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist to discuss the best approach based on individual needs. The practitioner will assess the face’s structure, skin condition, and the patient’s overall health.
- Avoid Certain Medications: Discontinue the use of blood thinners or medications that may increase the risk of bleeding before surgery (for surgical facelifts).
- Skin Preparation: For non-surgical facelifts, the skin may be cleansed, and numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
