Is there a lot of pain after getting deep plane facelift and necklift with chin implant?

P
Pioneering878Mar 3, 2020

I have met with several plastic surgeons regarding deep plane facelift /necklift and chin implant. They have all assured me that I will not have pain but may have a tight feeling. Is this realistic? They all except one dr do as outpatient. Only 1 dr requires you to stay overnight.

Typically this will not cause a problem as the needles do not penetrate to the depth we are working when doing a face lift. The skin quality is usually improved by the microneedling, so the results are actually better and the surgery is not more difficult. Hope that helps!
