I am 4 weeks post-op. Still have minimal residual swelling on lateral face near my ears. I don't want to jeopardize my results or the health of my skin by having a procedure too soon.
Answer: Laser Resurfacing After Facelift The correct answer to your question is that it really depends on the type of facelift you have undergone. For instance, a subperiosteal facelift would theoretically allow you to have Fraxel skin resurfacing performed much earlier than an extended skinlift. However, the fact that you still have significant swelling on the lateral aspects of your face, where the blood supply and lymphatic drainage can be most tenuous, would argue that you should delay laser resurfacing for at least two to four weeks more. If the plastic surgeon who performed the facelift is not the doctor performing the laser procedure, he should certainly be consulted before you move forward with this treatment.

Answer: Fraxel after Facelift/Neck Lift/Blepharoplasty Typically, after a facelift, neck lift, and upper/lower blepharoplasty, we recommend waiting about 3-4 weeks after this type of surgery to do Fraxel Dual on your face. This gives the skin a chance to heal and also will help in the aid of circulation to the flapin the area that underwent the surgery.

Answer: Timing of laser resurfacing after facelift Great question. In your case I would wait 3 months after your facelift to perform fractionated laser resurfacing. This will give adequate time for you to heal.

Answer: After an ablative process you want to wait about 3 months for circulation to return after your surgery. About 3 months to be safe, since it is an ablative process you want to wait for circulation to return after your surgery.The circulation is needed for your skin to repair itself after the Fraxel procedure.
