Feel Run Down After Surgery..

First of all the procedures are too much for a single surgery. It is totally normal to feel exhausted and fatigue days after the surgery. You should try to rest, not lose energy, not smoke and do not drink alcohol for a few weeks (or keep it to a minimum). The recovery period is different among different individuals but will take around 2-6 weeks in general.
Hope this helps,

Surgery is a type of stress for the body and there is a recovery process taking place especially the initial first weeks. It is normal to feel run down after any type of surgery.  It is important to decrease the amount activity, pain medication and keep yourself hydrated.

Thank you and I understand your concern. You had quite a few procedures, which will require a significant amount of healing. With the busy schedule you described the day before, I can see why you might feel rundown and less than your best the next day. Give your body time to recover and try to get plenty of rest for the first few weeks. My guess is you will begin to feel more energized quite soon.

You are describing an absolutely normal feeling. If you keep in mind that the recovery after your surgery has taken you out of your normal routine and represents a significant stress to your organism as a hole, you will know to give yourself time to gain inner and outer strength. I recommend to be patient with yourself and know that you will get there, but it may take as long as 3 weeks. It is already a good sign that you went out with friends at such a relatively early stage in your recovery. 

Thanks for the question. First 24-48 hours after the operation face will be swelling. After 48 hours swelling will be decreases. Scalp area stitches are taken from the day 10. Final results may take 1 month. Patients can return to work after 1 week. The effect of gravity varies according to the aging speed and lifestyle but it provides an average permanent effect of 10 years. I wish you all the best.

Many of my facelift patients feel quite energetic just a few days after surgery; however, this does not mean that it's good to overdo it. Because no two patients are alike, please listen to your body and pace yourself. Lying in bed all day is not the proper way to heal, but neither is running around and doing housecleaning followed by active socializing. You will recover and feel 100% again but it takes time. And please remember to properly hydrate.
