Recovery

After your facelift, you will recover in our private recovery room with our licensed registered nurse to assist you. A bandage will be wrapped around your head to help relieve some swelling. Drains are also placed to help drain fluids that may accumulate and are removed the following day.
After forty-eight hours the bandages will be removed, and you will be able to shower and wash your hair. Stitches in front of the ear are removed within the first week, and the rest of the sutures will be removed within two weeks.

Makeup may be worn to conceal bruising. By ten to fourteen days non-strenuous work and light exercise may be resumed. After four to six weeks, more strenuous exercise may be resumed. The final results will be apparent within one year. Keep in mind, your facelift will turn back the hands of time, but, does not stop the aging process. Longer-lasting results tend to occur in patients who are younger, do not smoke, and do not have sun-damaged skin.
