What Is Recovery like after Facelift?

Recovering after Facelift in my practice is usually five to seven days to return to most activities.  There is usually some residual bruising that can easily be covered with makeup at this point.

Face-lifting is done on an outpatient basis in most cases allowing the patient to return home a few hours after the procedure. I discourage bed rest after this procedure as with most of my cosmetic surgery procedures.  Patients tend to heal more quickly and feel better if they are up and about.  Naturally, this does not been returning to work and strenuous activity the day of your surgery.

Pain is minimal although patients do notice a feeling of tightness for a while after this procedure.
