But, from the inside my skin face and neck I still have some questions: -Why I still feeling tight around my face, ears and neck? -What happened inside, sometime feel itch and a bit puffy still on my face? -When all this will be gone? -What I must do and don't?.. Thx
Answer: Tightness after facelift...
It is normal to experience tightness and numbness after a facelift. After your skin is elevated your surgeon used sutures to tighten the muscles and may have put a "sling" in for a tighter and smoother appearance of the neck. Excess skin was removed and sutured around the ear area. It is natural with any healing process to have some itchiness for about a year, but it will get better. Most swelling will be gone in about 6 months, but there may be some numbness for a year. If you have any other concerns I would contact your surgeon.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Patients heal at different rates It is fairly normal to still feel some tightness, itchiness, and “puffiness” at six months after a facelift. Each patient heals differently, and while some may be totally symptom-free at 6 months, others may take a while longer to fully heal. If you are worried, I would visit your surgeon for a follow-up visit, but the main thing to do is just be patient. Most symptoms should resolve within another six months if not earlier.

Answer: These symptoms are normal, but keep in touch with surgeon. It’s not unusual for patients to complain of tightness, itching and swelling following facelift procedures. These findings occur for a variety of reasons including structural sutures, scar formation, nerve regeneration, normal wound healing and the swelling that normally accompanies surgical procedures.This response varies from patient to patient and depends upon the surgical technique utilized and the patients wound healing characteristics.Skin tightness and tissue thickening following this procedure are usually related to swelling. In some cases, tightness may be related to normal wound healing and the formation of scar.Sometimes tightness may even be related to structural sutures that are utilized to tighten facial muscles.Wound Healing following facelift procedures is often accompanied by itching as well.This occurs when small cutaneous nerves regenerate following transection during the facelift procedure.Tightness, itching and swelling typically last for 3 to 6 months following facelift surgery, but in some cases may last up to a year.It’s important to realize that they’re normal findings that go away with the passage of time. In the short term, gentle massage and range of motion exercises may be helpful.It’s also important to maintain good communication with your plastic surgeon.Your surgeon should be able to answer your questions and alleviate your anxiety.
