After a Facelift when Can I Wear Earrings?

Thank you for your question.  Most important is to follow the advice of your facelift surgeon and not answers on this website.

In my practice I have patients wait until their incisions have healed and the earlobe swelling has gone down and the earlobe position has normalized.

This typically takes 2-3 weeks but in some patients can take longer.  Check with your plastic surgeon.

I generally advise patients to wait at least one month prior to wearing earrings.  The earlobe interface with the face is a very gentle and important one in facelift surgery.  Too much pressure along the ear can lead to earlobe tears or cause the earlobe to heal at a lower position which is less desirable.  

Your answer really is whatever your surgeon recommended. I do think that wearing light earrings after 1.5-2 weeks should cause any harm to your incisions especially if some deep absorbable sutures have been placed in strategic areas (like the earlobe!).

Hope your enjoying the results.
