LEARN MORE ABOUT HOW TO HAVE A SMOOTH RECOVERY AFTER FACIAL COSMETIC SURGERY IN PHILADELPHIA
Facelift or rhytidectomy surgery is designed to help counteract signs of aging on the face. Neck lifts have a similar goal, and can be combined with a facelift or performed on their own. In addition to enjoying beautiful results, patients also tend to want to have the smoothest recovery after a facelift. Philadelphia-area patients considering a facial surgery procedure should know that what happens after their surgery is an important part of their final look— and satisfaction. Following the instructions your surgeon gives for facelift recovery, mid-facelift recovery, lower facelift recovery, or a neck lift can make a major difference in the outcome. See below for more information on recovery after facelift surgery and more.

HOW CAN I SPEED UP HEALING DURING RECOVERY AFTER FACELIFTS?
It’s not uncommon for patients curious about recovery after facelift surgery to search for phrases like, “How much full facelift or lower facelift recovery time will you have?”
There really is no single answer. The time it takes for recovery after a facelift will depend on several factors, including age, health status, and the type of procedure performed. Another important thing to know about recovery after facelifts is that facelift swelling often gets worse before it gets better, but it usually goes down within one to two weeks.
With that in mind, staying well hydrated, eating a proper diet, getting plenty of rest, staying out of the sun, and following all aftercare guidelines can help to make the process go as quickly as possible.
Following guidelines for incision care is also critical for keeping incisions clean and reducing the risk of infection—something that can delay healing.
BEYOND RECOVERY AFTER FACELIFT: WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT NECK LIFT RECOVERY AND MINI NECK LIFT RECOVERY?
A neck lift—or “neck lifting,” as some patients refer to it—is designed to provide a more youthful-looking neck contour. Patients sometimes ask, “How does recovery after facelifts compare to recovery after neck lift surgery?” or “How long will the lower face and neck lift recovery time be?”
For anyone unsure what to expect from lower face and neck lift recovery, know that swelling after neck lift surgery is a likely side effect, just as it is common during recovery after facelifts. Swelling under the chin after a neck lift can sometimes be controlled by wearing a special garment that reduces swelling.
Neck lift swelling, bruising, and discomfort usually resolve within two weeks. To speed up your recovery from neck lift surgery, you will need to avoid aspirin and alcohol, keep your head elevated while you’re sleeping, avoid lifting heavy objects, and avoid turning your head at your neck. During your neck lift healing time, you should keep your head straight and avoid twisting or bending your neck.
