Swelling after facial treatment 4 months after face lift

Unfortunately some patients remain partially swollen for up to a half year after their facial surgery.  The good news is that there is virtually zero chance of anything being "undone" by having a facial massage (or any other normal activity, ie exercise).  You may consider sleeping with your head slightly elevated for the next two months to minimize recollection of edema (swelling).  Having performed over 5000 facelifts over the past decade, I can assure you that the swelling will go away in time. You have not caused any permanent damage. Just be patient and be assured that your results will remain beautiful for years to come.

The recovery will depend in part:on what type of #facelift, #necklift, you are having. additional procedurestype of anaesthesiaagetendency toward bruisingYou are still very early in your postoperative recovery and should give yourself more time for the swelling to resolve. Fluid management is important in managing swelling. Continue to follow-up with your surgeon. 

Thank you for submitting your question.  After several months, you will not alter or damage your result.  The pressure from laying on the massage table prob caused transient swelling.  Discuss your concerns and have an examination with your surgeon.  Best Wishes.
