How long after face and necklift surgery can I wash my hair? (Photos)

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.

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!
