Bruising and Swelling After Lifestyle Lift

No surgery in the lifestyle lift is around the temples. The swelling around the mouth should subside with tim. How is the overall result however? See my video see video

Bruising and swelling can take a couple of months to resolve and I always advise my patients that it can take up to six months before you can get an accurate picture of what your final result will be.

From my understanding of the "lifestyle lift" no surgery is performed on the temples. It seems unusual you should have swelling there if no surgical elevation or rearrangement of the tissues were completed during the procedure. This does not sound like any cause for alarm but you should contact your surgeon to inquire as to the cause for this. It is more likely you had a forehead lift which could explain swelling in the temples but this should be resolving.
