Can You Drive a Car After Lower Facelift?

Thank you for your question. Yes, but not safely as you have to turn your neck to see traffic which is difficult in a head dressing.  Possible, but not recommended. I hope this helps.

You should not drive immediately following your necklift surgery as you will likely receive medications that cause sedation and impair your reflexes.  If you have any pain medications in your system you should not drive either.  Patients vary in the amount of pain and duration of pain following surgery, but usually 3-5 days following your procedure pain medications will be needed.  For safety you should be able to comfortably turn your head.  Including all of these factors it is usually about a week or more when patients resume driving.
