Question

I usually swim 10 laps a day in a 60 ft long pool. i am three weeks out from my neck lift. May i swim?

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you consult with your board certified facial plastic surgeon because your surgeon and medical team should provide you with your recovery guidelines.
Best wishes,

I generally will allow patients to go swimming at three weeks after a neck lift, provided that their scars appear to be sealed and healing well.  I would recommend asking your board-certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon, as everyone’s protocol (and often technique) is different.  Best wishes.

Usually I tell my patients that they could resume strenuous physical activity such as swimming 3 weeks after their facelift I don't know exactly what was done during your procedure and how you're healing. Follow your surgeon's instructions so you achieve the best possible result which will last a lifetime.
