Why Medical Clearance Matters

Facelift and necklift procedures, while safe and routine in skilled hands, are still surgical interventions. Even healthy patients can benefit from risk stratification, baseline health evaluations, and proactive management of blood pressure, glucose levels, or hidden conditions like sleep apnea.

At Raggio MD, we’ve removed the hassle and variability of traditional outside clearance and built a high-touch, luxury protocol entirely within our boutique surgical model.

When you choose Raggio MD for your facelift or necklift, your journey includes personalized medical optimization delivered by our in-house Nurse Practitioner—no third-party providers, no coordination chaos.

Your CRNP provides:

• On-site laboratory testing (no referral needed)
• Blood pressure evaluations and medication adjustments, if necessary
• Sleep apnea screening (OSA is a major risk factor that often goes undiagnosed)
• Glucose management and diabetes risk assessment
• ECGs and pre-op heart assessments, if indicated
• Direct communication with your PCP or specialists to expedite surgical clearance
• Tailored risk stratification based on your personal health profile
• Nutritional guidance to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing
• Surgical skincare prep to maximize your result and long-term skin health

Whether you’re from Birmingham, Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, or traveling from Georgia, Florida, or Tennessee, you’ll never have to juggle outside appointments or wonder if you’re “cleared” in time. We handle it all, in-house.

Our preoperative model is not only more convenient—it’s clinically smarter. By proactively managing risks and optimizing health, we:

• Reduce the likelihood of complications
• Improve wound healing and tissue recovery
• Minimize surgical delays
• Eliminate the confusion of navigating external providers

This is Birmingham’s best and most modern facelift surgery reimagined—where safety and luxury meet.

Postoperative Facelift Support: Healing Doesn’t End in the OR

Your CRNP doesn’t disappear after your surgery. In fact, they remain a primary point of contact during recovery—monitoring your healing trajectory, providing clinical reassurance, and adjusting health support as needed.

Post-op services include:

• Follow-ups with both your surgeon and CRNP
• Virtual check-ins during the early healing phase
• Continued blood pressure or glucose management, if needed
• Skincare continuity to transition smoothly from surgery to radiant results

This continuity of care reduces avoidable ER visits, identifies issues early, and empowers you to heal with clarity and confidence.
