Facelift Recovery
What should you expect during your facelift recovery period? Dr. Kevin Brenner discusses this important topic on tonight’s episode of Entertainment Tonight.
Q 1) What type of head dressing can I expect after undergoing a facelift, necklift, or browlift?
A 1) Head dressings are typically placed on patients in the operating room immediately following a facelift or necklift. The purpose of these dressings are to help to minimize swelling in the soft tissues.
Q 2) For how long will I need to wear a bandage dressing on my hair after a facelift?
A 2)In my practice, patients will wear dressings on their face for the first night following a facial rejuvenation procedure.
Q 3) Will I require drains during my facelift plastic surgery recovery?
A 3) Yes. Small drains are typically placed following a full face and neck lift. The purpose of these drains is to help evacuate any inflammatory fluid so that it does not accumulate under the skin.
Q 4) Are bruising and swelling typical during recovery from a facial rejuvenation procedure? If so, for how long?
A 4) A little bit of bruising and swelling is not uncommon following a large facial rejuvenation procedure. This typically lasts for about one to two weeks.
Q 5) When will my sutures be removed after my facelift?
A 5) Fine sutures are placed on the facial skin in and around the ear and hairline during a facelift. These will typically be removed one week following your procedure.
