Body Massage after Facelift
That's an easy one: not only is it ok, I'd encourage it! Surgery of any sort is stressful on your body. Because of this, you may notice muscle aches and pains not in the area that you've treated. I highly encourage you to have a full-body massage if it helps you feel better and calms your nerves. However, stay away from the head and neck for the first month or so to allow the skin to heal.

Full body massage after face and neck lift?
I would recommend speaking with your surgeon regarding his or her guidelines, as they may have specific instructions they would like you to follow. It should be ok after 6 weeks, but there is a possibility of additional swelling. I hope this helps, and i wish you the best of luck.

Body Massage 6 Weeks After Face Lift
At this point, you are well on your way of healing. A massage (including lying on your belly) should not harm your facelift recovery; rather, you deserve this treat after your procedure!

Full body massage and facelift
Since you are six weeks out from a facelift and assuming that you are completely healed, you should be fine to have a massage. Enjoy!

Facelift and body massage
Lying face down after a facelift, even after 6 weeks, is going to increase your swelling. I wouldn't do it myself. How about a compromise and sit in a massage chair or lie on your back and have the therapist reach under you? That way you can relax without getting a puffy face.

Full Body Massage After Face and Neck Lift?
The speed of healing varies from person to person. I would recommend to check with your plastic surgeon. Considering everything is going according to plan at 6 weeks after a facelift should be safe to lay down for a full body massarge. Enjoy your relaxing time!

Massage after facelift
Six weeks is usually enough post-op time to permit a massage. The problem is that you still have some swelling on one side. I would recommend, that if your plastic surgeon says it's ok to have a massage, that you lie with your head turned to one side or the other on the table, rather than putting it into that hole in the headrest. That would cause too much pressure on the cheeks and brow areas and might produce more swelling on the cheek. Most massage therapists are ok with you...

6 Weeks After facelift
I agree that you should first clear this activity with your Surgeon. However, I would have no problem with a patient doing this at 6 weeks, assuming normal healing.

You should ask your surgeon. I would probably not want one of my patients to lie face down for a long period of time until probably 3 months after surgery.

Facelift at 6 Weeks and Lying Face Down
By 6 weeks after facelift, there is not alot of risk with doing fairly normal activities, and I would not anticipate problems with this. However, ask your plastic surgeon, because facelifts are in part technique dependent and the healing process is dependent upon the individual. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
