I had a mini facelift a few years ago at 47 years old. I was told it was a S-Lift. It was done under local anaesthetic. I didnt have any swelling at all or numbness after the surgery. I was out in public the next day. My face was tight and slim . It lasted about 8 months . Could this have been a skin lift only due to the lack of swelling, pain and numbness? The Dr is no longer practicing.
Hi, I am 46. I had a Mini Facelift done Wednesday to lift my sagging jowls. The next day I found that the right side of may face had swelled up into the eye area and I now have a blue eye as if someone has hit me in the eye. The swelling and bruising on the one side is still bad, it is only 5 days later. As this was not a full face lift, I did not really think I would swell so badly.....on one side only. Could this have been caused by too much bleeding under the skin. How much longer will it more or less take for the swelling to go down?
I'm three weeks post op mini facelift. I have had little swelling and minimal bruising. Today I noticed a clear suture (like a fishing line) coming through my skin directly at the base of my ears. There is one suture on each ear. I am concerned that these sutures are keeping the underlying muscle in place and if they have to be removed with the lift drop? I didn't tell anyone about my procedure and not one person has noticed a change. I am extremely anxious that my mini lift will not last.
Hi, I am considering having mini lift . I live with lot of room mate. good thing is my apt is small, we don't really see each other much.(sometimes we do, but not necesarry to have conversation.) Am I able to keep secret from my roommates that I did mini lift by wearing hoodie and mask all day pretending that I am sick? I gonna do with local anesthesia.when I had thread lift in the past,It was really swelling.I am not sure if mini lift gonna swell same as thread lift.I need advice!! thank you!!
14 weeks post op mini facelift. am in so much pain and discomfort. i feel as if i'm in constant traction. the tension on my masseter, temporal, sternocleidomastoid, scalenes, and trapezius muscles is so great, i have to lay down and take anxiety/muscle relaxers several times a day just to get through the day. i'm constantly massaging and doing myofacia release, but each day of healing seems to wind me tighter. have i been over tightened? also, the internal sutures PDS II 4.0 have not begun to dissolve. if i massage that area, i get inflammation and swelling. HELP!
