I am concerned that when i put my hair back for dance class, the slight asymmetry of cheeks will be apparent and tip off my eagle-eye classmates about my surgery. I do not want to broadcast my procedures to the world. If i wait another week to go to class, in your experience will things relax a bit more, or would i have to wait a full three months for my cheeks to become a bit more symmetrical? Or could i possibly lose more fat unevenly during that time. Thank you for your response.
Answer: How long does swelling last after facelift All patients heal differently, but at 3 weeks the majority of swelling has settled. If you give yourself another week you should be fine to return to class. If you are very worried about people knowing you had a procedure done, go have your hair cut and styled different than usual. That way your classmates will take notice that you have changed your hair and not focus on the lift which will be less obvious. good luck.

Answer: Asymmetrical Swelling Post Facelift #Asymmetrical #swelling is not uncommon following surgical procedures, including a #facelift. Do not be alarmed if one side of your face is slightly more swollen or numb than the other. This is common and usually disappears within a few weeks.Its best to remain patient because it is still early in to your recovery. The healing process in general can take up to one month for the majority of swelling to subside, incisions to close, sutures to come out, and for bruising to completely go away. #Recovery time from a #facelift varies from person to person, but patients can generally expect to be presentable within three weeks from surgery. Patients should expect swelling, bruising, and discoloration of the skin during this phase of recovery (swelling normally goes down after 48 hours; most bruising will go away within two weeks). The marks from a facelift can easily hidden with “camouflage” make-up which you can learn how to apply.The scars from a facelift mature within six to twelve months from the surgery date. It is during this time that the rejuvenating effects of the facelift will become apparent and the real result will be seen. Nevertheless, if you have certain concerns about the procedures and #healing process, it is recommended to call your board-certified surgeon or their medical staff and discuss those #concerns.

Answer: Some asymmetry three weeks after a facelift is fairly common. Healing is seldom symmetrical so the picture doesn't demonstrate anything at the moment that's alarming. As long as the trend is favorable over the next few weeks you should be fine.

Answer: Great facelift You do not show us your before pictures so I can't comment on your change/results, but you seem to look great. You do have slight asymmetry which is not unusual. Nobody has perfectly symmetric face, and you may have had some asymmetry before. Also since it's been only three weeks, expect that your face will continue to go through changes. Finally, with fat grafting, it takes over 3 months for all results to settle. You may loose some of the grafted fat and that will show over the next 3 months, leading to further changes.
