Answer: Not an unusual appearance five weeks after a facelift. Swelling at the junction of the orbicularis muscle and the rest of the cheek after a facelift can be persistent. Usually this is best left alone. In recalcitrant cases a small amount of dilute steroid sometimes helps.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Puffiness under eyes after facelift Thank you for your question for sharing your concerns with us as well as your photos. The puffiness under your eyes may take time to resolve, but should do so if they were not present before surgery. You may want to consider using compression (e.g. silicone sheets) when feasible as this may help mitigate the edema from building up under the eyes. In addition, lymphatic massage can help. I would make sure that you continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon during this period of time.

Answer: Swelling of the eyes after a lower facelift. This is not a uncommon situation depending on the invasiveness of the facelift. If the swelling in the area wasn't there before surgery it will slowly fade. Although difficult, sleeping with the back and head elevated will help greatly and time. Good Luck, it looks very nice.

Answer: Healing after a facelift Generally speaking, it can take 6 to 12 months to completely heal after a facelift procedure. I would strongly recommend speaking with your surgeon or his/her clinical team to discuss your concerns further.

Answer: Puffy eyes and numb face 6 weeks after facelift Numbness is common after facelift surgery and can take a year to improve.The puffiness of your eyes can persist but by 2 months I would expect any puffiness caused by the facelift to resolve.You do have what appeared to be festoons below the lower eyelids, and these are not caused by the facelift but RN aging change of the mid face. Ask your surgeon about the festoons which are very difficult to correct.I also noticed that the left side of your forehead does not raise as well as the right. Hopefully this will continue to improve.
