Facial cosmetic surgery, which can be done on an inpatient or outpatient basis, usually has about a two week recovery period.
Patients will have a variable amount of bruising and swelling following surgery. I have found that this is often related to general health status and other medical issues, such as high blood pressure, that patients may have. I generally recommend that for the first two weeks after facial cosmetic surgery, such as facelift, eyelid lift, or brow lift, the patient sleep in a recliner with their head elevated. Immediately following facial cosmetic surgery, I also recommend that patients keep the area of surgery cool with ice, cold compresses, which may be accomplished by way of gel packs or coolers that circulate ice, cold water. Nonetheless, each system seems to have its drawbacks. One method that has been very reliable and simple is keeping a basin of ice water at your bedside. A wash cloth can, also, be dipped in ice water and then rung out to achieve whatever temperature is most comfortable for each patient. Patients generally find this to be a soothing comfort for the first 2-3 days immediately following surgery.
While some patients will have very little bruising and could return to work quite quickly, other patients may take as long as two weeks before the bruising and swelling can be camouflaged by makeup.
Thank your very much for this awesome post. I really need this (badly). Aside from my Plastic surgeon Los Angeles tips about the do's and don't on my surgery, I'm doing some research to know more about the recovery stage.
ReplyDeleteWow! The recovery time after having a facial cosmetic surgery is really important. Before having a surgery, it's best if you consult your surgeon two or three times. Make sure you also talk about what you want to happen and what you should be expecting. Following these tips will be of big help to those who are planning to undergo surgery.

Yes, the recovery period after a facial surgery varies from one patient to another. A friend of mine had a rhinoplasty, and it only took her about two weeks to get back to work. Well, if some areas are still swollen, there is, indeed, nothing a good concealer and foundie can't hide.

You’re right, Terry! Every patient reacts differently to facelift surgery, and the same goes with the recovery period. It also depends upon the patient’s general health condition. The best thing to do after the surgery is to regularly visit your surgeon for follow-up checkups. Also, if you smoke, better stop it during the recovery period because it impairs circulation and delays healing.

Aside from the tips that you've mentioned, a person must also eat food rich in vitamin C and lean protein food. These should help your wounds to heal faster than the normal 2-3 weeks of recovery period. You should also avoid drinking alcohol and refrain from smoking, so that blood circulation wouldn't be altered or hindered.
