It's gonna take two episodes to tell you everything you need to know about getting a facelift! In Part 1, Dr. Martin and Amy go over what a facelift can and can't do, the different types of facelifts, who’s a candidate, and questions to ask your surgeon at your pre-surgery appointments.

Questions for your surgeon at your consultation:

• Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
• Am I a good candidate for this procedure?
• What surgical technique is recommended for me?
• Where and how will you perform my surgery?
• What are the risks and potential complications with a facelift?
• How are complications handled?
• How can I expect my face to look/age over time?

Questions for your surgeon at your preop:

• Where will I be taken after surgery? Overnight stay?
• What medication will I be given or prescribed?
• Will I have dressings/bandages when I leave the hospital?
• When will they be removed?
• When will the drains and stitches be removed?
• When can I wash my face, shower, wash my hair?
• When can I cut/color my hair?
• When can I return to normal activities and exercise?
