How long for full recovery
Answer: How Long After Face and Neck Lift Can I Wash My Hair? Safe to Wash Hair 24 Hours After Facelift (rhytidectomy, neck lift, plasty You should check with your facial plastic surgeon, because everyone has different recommendations. However, I allow most of my patients to shower 24 hours after surgery, provided they remain upright, use a very light touch, and do not bother their sutures. It’s important not to invert your head (for instance by washing your hair under the tub spigot). Don’t use a hair dryer or hot curlers for at least a month. I hope this helps.

Answer: Showering after facelift surgery Every surgeon has a different protocol. In my practice the hair is washed straight after surgery by my scrub nurses . This is followed up by my specialist nurse gently washing your hair again the next day before going home. My nurses show you where the sutures are and teach my patients how to gently wash their hair at home. Usually since the hair is very clean on the day of discharge I recommend leaving it for a couple of days before washing at home and then to resume daily with showering.

Answer: Showering after face and necklift I will allow patients to shower their bodies the next day after the surgery without getting the incisions wet. Hair can be washed for most patients at 3-4 days following the surgery with care to towel dry the incisions after showering. I would check with your surgeon for their protocol.

Answer: Ask your surgeon for aftercare As I the facelift procedure under local anaesthetic, without the need for drains or bandages, I advise my patients to shower one day post surgery and everyday for 7 days.I would ask your surgeon what their aftercare protocol is as many surgeons have different policies.

Answer: Post op care for Facelift Hi Caroline Hewson, thanks for your question! I recommend calling your plastic surgeon for his or her exact post op instructions for a facelift. I advise my patients not to shower until 48 hours after their surgery. After 2 days, I recommend using an antibacterial soap and warm water to rinse the incisions and surrounding area. Hope this helps!
