How Long After a Facelift Can I Color my Hair?

Thank you for your question.  You will need to wait until the incisions are fully healed.  I would advise about 3- 4 weeks after surgery.  All The Best 

While some patients may heal very quickly and be able to color their hair within two weeks after undergoing a facelift, I strongly urge my patients to wait at least four weeks after surgery before dyeing their hair (whether at home or in the salon). One to two days after surgery, however, you can shower and shampoo your hair as long as you refrain from aggressively rubbing the scalp and don’t shower in extremely hot water. The reason why we ask that you wait for such a long time before coloring your hair is so that you won’t introduce any potentially irritating or infectious materials into the wounded area while it is healing. The excessive rubbing, scrubbing, and combing that goes into a professional-grade dye job may accidentally scrape away the scabs at the incision sites, thus affecting the wound healing process.

I advise people to wait for 6 weeks after surgery, provided the wounds are healing normally. Most hairdressers are able to avoid the area anyway and limit the chance of causing a problem but they will want the ok from the surgeon before going ahead. there are some types of scar (particularly in the temple) that can take a little longer to settle down and you should discuss the exact timing with your surgeon.
