Answer: Lower facelift 1. Recovery times can vary, but generally, patients may experience initial recovery within a week, with full recovery taking a few weeks to months. 2. Scarring depends on the individual and the specific procedure. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon, and they can provide details about scarring in different areas. 3. Handling time alone and restrictions on exercise during recovery can be challenging. Engaging in activities like reading, watching movies, or pursuing hobbies can help pass the time. 4. Skin type and individual health factors can influence recovery. It's essential to follow your surgeon's post-operative care instructions to minimize potential problems. 5. Platysmaplasty, often performed for neck rejuvenation, is a separate procedure. Consult with your surgeon to understand the benefits, risks, and whether it's suitable for your specific case. Best of luck !

Answer: How long is a lower facelift recovery? In our practice, we place drains underneath the skin and the neck for the first two days to minimize bruising swelling due to the fact that the blood is not trapped underneath the skin. The goal of a lower face and neck lift is to tighten loose facial and neck skin, tighten loose facial and neck muscles, lift the jowls, and remove fat deposits in the neck, which also includes a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline. Most patients are able to return to their social activities in about 10 days after the procedure. The incisions are placed in front and behind the ears. We also do not recommend any exercise for the first two weeks after the surgery. Carefully study your prospective surgeon's facelift photo gallery, especially the after photos to see how well the incisions have healed in the sideburn area
