Facelift Recovery

Facelift in Virginia Beach, VA

You’re ready for the procedure, now let’s review some things about your physical recovery after the facelift.

  • You are likely to experience some discomfort after your facelift procedure but will have medications to relieve this.
  • You will be wearing facial garments which may feel somewhat tight and restrictive but help reduce swelling and improve your recovery.
  • Recovery is typically around two weeks, you can resume a more active lifestyle after four weeks.
  • Sutures are removed seven to ten days after surgery.
  • You should follow your surgeon’s instructions about showering and bathing, specifically when it’s okay to wash your hair.
  • Numbness and muscle stiffness is normal for some time.  Scars, although hidden can take up to a year to fade.
  • Remember that although genetics play a role in your physical appearance, a healthy lifestyle with a good diet and exercise can help maintain your beauty. Begin by following a low sodium diet just after your procedure.
  • Your facelift will enhance your beauty. To continue the benefits avoid smoking, limit your alcohol intake, and try to reduce stress and sun exposure.
