I am 5 weeks post-op lower face and neck lift with the expected slow resolution of the swelling. I have just begun a round of prednisone to treat sciatica issues. Will this slow down the resolution of the swelling due to possible water retention? Is there a chance that the anti-inflammatory effects will actually help speed up recovery.

Answer: Predinsone probably has little effect on facelift healing.
