How long do you wear a facial garment after a facelift?

Thank you for your question.  Its always best to check with your surgeon as everyone will have different protocols.  I only place a compression tape on for 24 hours after surgery.  All The Best 

I generally ask patients to wear a "chin strap" 24/7 for one week and then just at night for the second week.  That being said, for those patients who go back to work after a few days, I suspect that they do not wear the chin strap at work.  The more you wear it, however, the better, since it makes the swelling go down more rapidly. best regards.

Facial masks and chin straps are sometimes used after facelift procedures to help reduce swelling. These are typically worn for 14 days after surgery. Their use and exactly how long they are worn are surgeon preference. Care must be taken to ensure proper fit and to avoid the development of creases and undue tension on the skin flaps in front of the ears. Also, patients don’t like to wear them. I no longer use them in my practice.
