I had a face lift in the past, and felt for the most part, just fine. I had absolutely no depression or mood changes. However, some docs are not telling me it is normal to expect a depression after such surgery. Could you please explain why this might be.and how long it can last.

Answer: Having the blues after facelift surgery It is very common after having a big life event to get a little down. There is ramping up of excitement, then the event, and then the after effects. With facial surgery there is also getting used to a face in the mirror that is different than what you are used to. Also aesthetic surgery sometimes makes people look worse before they look better. Please do talk to your plastic surgeon's office. They see this stuff all the time. They should be able to help.
