Answer: Swelling after facelift. Swelling after facelift surgery generally settles in the first few weeks. There are situations where patients have prolonged swelling. If you had a postoperative fluid collection, hematoma or seroma and if it was not drained this can take along time to settle. You should see your surgeon to review your situation. If you have persisitent jowls post facelift this is different than post operative swelling and may require surgical touch up.
