When can I resume exercising after facelift?

Thanks for the question. After 2-4 weeks your operation area is totally healed and yes you can do exercising and also do other sport activities. I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your questions. Different surgeons have different aftercare advice. I would suggest speaking with your consultant in regards to when you can exercise after your facelift.Generally if it is performed under local anaesthetic, we advise not to exercise for 2 weeks, then starting off with light exercise at first.Kind regards

Usually I recommend waiting between 4 and 6 weeks after surgery. However, I suggest you ask your plastic surgeon as everyone heals differently and they may say otherwise.Christian Drehsen, M.D.

Thank you for your question.  This is one that we hear quite often from our patients.  I would consult with your surgeon for his/her direction on this; typically though, we recommend no strenuous exercise for at least 4 weeks after surgery.  This is to help keep swelling and blood pressure down while the tissues heal.  Also be careful bending over in the immediate period after a facelift.  Again, I would ask your surgeon for his/her specific instructions.  I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Thank you for your question. Most surgeons have a set time they like to tell their patients to resume exercise after a face lift procedure. You should certainly listen to your surgeon's recommendations. I typically tell my patients 3 weeks for light work outs, but 6-8 weeks before returning to their "normal" work out routine. I also tell them all the bruising needs to be gone before returning to exercise. Please listen to your surgeon and their suggestions since he/she is the one caring for you.
