Facelift Recovery
|
Question: There does not seem to be much information available on after surgery. All
the sites I have found tell you what they will do before surgery and the the
results of after. My question to anyone who has had a lower face lift,
which includes the neck, how long do you feel it took for all the swelling
to go down, and before you felt that you were "back to normal" as you were
before the surgery.
The information on every site I have checked says a couple of weeks, but I
have a friend who is now going on the 8th week, and the Dr. tells her, that
it will just take time. Comments please on total recovery time
Answer: I understand the book "Welcome to Your Facelift" is very good and tells exactly
what to expect from someone who went through it.
My mother had a face-lift and her doc told her healing is different for
everybody. In her case, she first went back out in public a little over two
weeks afterwards. At about four weeks, she looked GREAT. Her doc also told
her that first-time facelifts have more swelling. My mother said herswelling
did not entirely go away for about three months; however, the bit that remained
only made her look better, since the swelling smoothed out wrinkles!
