Facelift surgery is known for its beautiful and long-lasting facial rejuvenation results. Best of all, modern facelifts have evolved to look more natural than ever before. If a facelift is a procedure you are considering, you are probably wondering what facelift recovery looks like. Below, we have outlined some important information to make your recovery a breeze:
- Over-the-counter medication is typically all that is needed for discomfort after surgery.
- Frequent cleaning and lubrication of the incision sites promote faster healing and minimized scars.
- Resting with your head elevated will minimize swelling and promote healing.
- Ocumend pads that contain Arnica and Ledum are used during recovery to minimize the severity and duration of bruising and swelling.
- Bruising can be easily camouflaged with mineral-based makeup after 1 week.
- After one week, all of your sutures are removed.
- Most patients take 2 weeks off of work for recovery, but with makeup, you can go out sooner.
