How long to see results from Face Lift
The results from a Face Lift should be the most dramatic, as far as how tight the face looks, once the initial swelling subsides. For minimal incision Face Lifts, this is literally hours...while for traditional Face Lifts it would be several weeks. Deep Plane Face Lifts would be along similar time with the traditional Face Lift for resolution of the initial swelling but might have residual swelling that persists for months longer due to the more aggressive nature of the...

Improvement from a face & neck lift (whether deep plane or not) should be evident by 1-2 weeks - looking at photos (before and after) is often helpful

You should be able to see improvement after a Facelift, Deep Plane or other, immediately after surgery
I show my patients their face the morning after a Facelift because I expect them to see the tightening and improvement created by the Facelift.
Granted, swelling at 24-48 hours can obscure some of the improvement, but I expect patients to see enough of an improvement that they can see that they will be happy.
At one month the skin does relax from the extreme tightening right after surgery. Especially around the mouth some relapse of skin laxity is common.
Be sure to look at your...

Deep Plane Facelift versus Traditional Face Lift.
One study suggests that all the facelift techniques end up looking the same, after just a couple of years. That deep plane looks better in the early going but not so after just a few months. I am familiar with all the techniques and must comment that "no dif" is not what we hope to see at this point. Sometimes it takes comparison of your look today and the pre-op photos to appreciate the real difference. Ask the doctor for a copy of your photos. You...

Deep plane facelift
Dear anon7451,
Family members may not notice a difference, but people are really good at forgetting what you used to look like. Take a look at your pre-op pics and compare them to pics of you now to see a difference. If you are not satisfied let your surgeon know so you can see what options you have.
Best,

Facelift results should show up at the one month mark
You should be able to see a substantial improvement in your face after a facelift. The best way to address your concerns is to see your surgeon and review before and after photos to see what progress has been made. I hope this helps!

1 month facelift postop results
At 1 month, you should notice a substantial change in your facial volume proportions and shape. I would discuss this with your primary surgeon and review your preop/postop photos to ensure that your expected results were possible or realistic through facelift surgery.

Facelift results
You should have a dramatic result at one month after any kind of a facelift. A pre and post photo would be good but I can't understand getting a "non-result."

Results From a Deep Plane Facelift
Regarding your result, I would sit down with your Surgeon and ask to see your preoperative photos and discuss the changes. Although you should be seeing a result at this time, it is sometimes easy to lose the imagery of how you looked before the surgery.

Deep plane facelift results
The term "Deep plane facelift" means a lot of different things to a lot of different surgeons. Regardless of exact technique, you should see some improvement by 1 month. A true Deep plane Facelift as it was inititally described creates more swelling than most other techniques and so you may not see your final results for 6 months or even longer, but you still should see improvement at this time.

How long to see facelift results
Though one should expect swelling and possible bruising after surgery there should be improvement seen one month after surgery. This is especially in the jowls/jawline/neckline. I would visit with your surgeon to have an examination.

Deep plance facelift
You should see some improvement by now. Deep plane facelifts often produce a significant amount of swelling as well which takes longer to resolve than some other techniques.

Facelift results.
You should be able to see the results of a Facelift in a very short period of time, days. At one month the improvement should be obvious. Without seeing before and after photos of your case it is hard to make more particular assessments, I would recommend you visit with your surgeon and review before and after photos to compare your changes.

Facelift recovery should be a matter of weeks
It is of course impossible to comment on any specific case without seeing the patient personally, but at one month I would expect a fairly obvious result, and many patients are able to be out in public during the second week after surgery. However, there are a number of things to consider; one is that with the deep plane, the swelling will take longer to subside, so you will still see some improvment after one month. Another thing is that family members are often less than helpful as...

Deep Plane Face Lift , What to Expect?
Dear facelift Patient,
One month after a facelift surgery regardless of what type, you should be able to see much improvement in certain facial features such as jowls and neck area. Swelling and numbness may persist for a bit longer. If you presented a before and after picture of your face lift surgery, it would have been easier to evaluate it. You must talk to your surgeon and have a line of communication open. Good Luck
