Can I attend a major social event 3 months after deep plane facelift, fat graft, upper/lower eyelid surgery, endo brow lift?

Thank you for your question. Recovery from deep plane facelift, fat transfer, upper and lower eyelid surgery, and endoscopic brow lift is usually very advanced three months from surgery and would typically allow attending a major social event without substantial concerns.

Depending on the skin type, the redness of the scars may still be present and that can require makeup to mask them.

Bruising and swelling delay recovery and you can discuss with your surgeon treatment options to accelerate the process. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is also associated with accelerated recovery. I suggest that you look into this around the time of your surgery and have perhaps a couple of sessions before and three or four sessions after your intervention.

Great question! Scheduling around major social events is half the battle with facial plastic surgery. The short answer is yes. That is a big surgery and there will certainly be a lot of swelling and bruising. I tell my patients who are undergoing these procedures to not expect a full result until 3-6 months. I suspect that even at 3 months you'll likely have small areas of swelling that have not settled fully but you would look perfectly acceptable and likely very good for your event. Best of luck!
