How long should I expect to stay hidden from the public after a lower mini Facelift?

Typically,
my patients are “restaurant ready” and back into social outings in as little as
5 days after a mini facelift. A healthy lifestyle, following your surgeons
instructions, and allowing yourself to truly rest during the recovery will help
your overall healing process to be as short and discreet as possible.

Thank you for your question.Most patients typically stay out of the public eye for a week or two, in order to allow swelling to resolve, and any bruising that may occur to be able to be concealed with cover-up makeup.  There are some medications that some surgeons use to reduce swelling and bruising, but every surgeon has their own protocol.  I would discuss these medications with your board certified plastic surgeon.  Best of luck!
