How Long is Recovery from a Facelift?

How Long is Recovery from a Facelift?

By Experts Admin · Comments (0) · Saturday, October 3rd, 2020

Even if you’re diligent about taking care of the skin on your face and neck, time and gravity will take a toll on your appearance. When that happens, you may want to consider a facelift. A facelift is a wonderful way to reverse signs of aging and refresh your appearance. But how long is recovery from a facelift?

Facelift Surgery

A facelift or rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure that is done to lift and tighten the skin to give the face a more youthful appearance. A facelift can address wrinkles and fine lines, sagging cheeks, nasolabial folds, and drooping jowls.

How Long is Recovery from a Facelift?

Facelift recovery varies for each patient, but it typically takes an average of 2 weeks to recover. The duration of the recovery period will depend on the age and health of the patient as well as the extent of the procedure. Patients can generally return to work 2-3 weeks after a facelift. However, it can take up to 6 weeks for patients to heal completely and look their best.

What To Expect During Recovery?

During the first few days after facelift surgery, some discomfort is normal. There will also be mild swelling and bruising that can last for several weeks. Some patients also experience tingling, tightness, and numbness.

Patients will need help completing errands and chores in the days after surgery because although moving around is encouraged, it’s important not to overdo it. Activities such as running, heavy lifting, and strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 4 months.
