How Much Will I Be Able to Do After Mini Facelift Surgery?

Thank you for your question. So much of this depends on you, how fast you heal, as we see such a variety in healing rates depending on the individual, even though the surgery is identical for all practical purposes.  We have had a physical therapist go back to work in 10 days after a mini facelift, but this is not typically recommended.  Too much activity and swelling will start again, and or a suture separation.  The goal is to heal, not to injure yourself trying to recover quicker, or be as active as is possible.  Your recovery is as much dependent on you as is the surgery. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the question. It takes 3-4 weeks for your body to recover and return to daily life without any problems. I wish you all the best.

With this
#cosmeticsurgery patients usually feel some tightness, firmness under the skin,
and moderate swelling & bruising during the first week. Most patients having
a modified #facelift feel comfortable being out in public shortly thereafter,
sometimes after a few days. It’s best to allow one to two weeks for healing
from your #plasticsurgery. We use dissolving incisions that do not need to be
removed



WHAT ARE
THE SCARS LIKE?



When you
have a #facelift, well placed incisions which are well planned and hidden, along
with lifting without tension will help #minilifts, #litelifts and other
#facelifts heal when performing these types of #cosmeticsurgeries.
Limited scar incision and proper care after
sugery help. Topical scar creams and laser as needed can all help create
incisions that are hard to see.

The recovery from a mini lift can be very simple, or may require quiet recuperation, depending on the complexity of the surgery. I would likely take off a few days to recuperate. A non surgical option is Ultherapy. Raffy Karamanoukian Los Angeles

As with any surgery, activity restrictions in the early healing process are required. For a mini-facelift, this includes any activity that would significantly elevate the heart rate or blood pressure.  Light walking is generally ok, but more rigorous exercise is not recommended. The other concerns involve sources of infection -- this would eliminate the possibility of swimming (both in the ocean and in a pool). Please confer with your surgeon before proceeding with any activities. Best of luck!
