  • Posted to What is Recovery Time on Lower Facelift? on 12 Mar 2013

    Most of the doctors here state that most recovery occurs in 2 weeks. I am 3 months post op from a very successful lower face and neck lift. I was able to go out in public at 2 weeks, however the swelling and numbness has slowly improved over 3 months. I had no infections or hematomas but I would say that 3 months is a better time frame for recovery. I expect numbness to continue for several more months. I had a wonderful cosmetic effect and would recommend this surgery. Two weeks is not the recovery time. A person can comfortably go back to work at 3 weeks but the swelling takes much longer to go away.

    I went through makeup tattoo with 4 Vicodin and it still hurt like the dickens. If I were to do it again, I would add alprazolam, have a driver, and use Percocet instead of Vicodin. This is incredibly painful. I am a redhead and local anesthesia has always been insufficient for me. I was told redhead metabolize locals faster

    I am a redhead and have blond lashes and brows. I had the tattoo done for liner and brows. It wore off after a few years and I will not go through that pain again. I use hair die on my brows and am back to applying eyeliner. I tried having the lashes dyed but it was not such an improvement so I buy the best mascara and use Latisse

    Go back to the doctor and explain you did not peel at all. They should redo the procedure at no charge

    Hypo pigmentation is a known side effect of laser and the main reason I would not do it on my face. I did do my neck and chest, had no good result and lots of redness and pain. I thank god I did let them near my face. This procedure is too risky. I discussed hypo pigmentation with a Board Certified PS and he said not to do it. Skin sensitivity may diminish, but use a good sun block on your face every day.
