What Is The Recovery Like For A Facelift?

By Dr. Asif Pirani

Recovery is perhaps the most important part of your surgery as it will affect how quickly you return to your normal life and how happy you will be with your overall results. Here is what you can expect during the recovery process and how you can get the most out of your investment.

Facelift

Recovery Time:

Depending on the type of facelift, the healing or recovery time is between one week and several weeks. After a standard facelift, patients can expect to return to work after ten days to two weeks.

What to Expect:

Day 1-7 After Surgery

What is not normal: If you notice that one side of your face is significantly more swollen than the other or if you have a high fever, contact your doctor.

Day 7-14

Day 15-30

Suggestions:

The recovery after a facelift procedure takes a little patience and care, but at the end of that time, you’ll emerge a whole new you.
