I had a lower face lift 4 months ago. Still have numbness in my ears and face along with ringing in my ears. Also still alot of tightness in my neck . When I put my head down it feels like there is a noose around my neck. Will this go away and if so when? I am an athlete and I run 8 to 10 miles a day and this still seems to make the tightness worse, how long for this to go away also. My plastic surgeon is out of state and not helpful at all when I call his office.
Answer: Facelift Recovery: What To Expect! The time for facelift recovery depends mainly on the delicacy of the technique used by the surgeon. Combination of the surgery with other procedures can increase the recovery time however, this is what is expecting you in general:

Answer: Recovery From a Lower Facelift Recovery has different phases after a facelift, starting at the first week where sutures and staples are present and you look procedural. I allow most of my patients to apply makeup between 10-14 days which will conceal bruising, swelling, and other aspects to the uninitiated eye. Activity restriction is a strict 2 weeks and patients can resume weight lifting, tennis, golf etc at 4 weeks. Firmness and swelling in the neck to the touch can last 2-3 months. Numbness of the neck and lateral face typically last 6-12 months. The "noose" sensation you describe is unusual, but can happen after a corset platysmaplasty; this should resolve itself in 6-12 months. Overall, there are changes for a year after the procedure and some variation on the factors described above can happen during that time.

Answer: Post Facelift Recovery and Healing #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.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: Lower facelift recovery The tightness in your neck and numbness are not unusual 4 months after this type of procedure. The ringing in your ears at this point sounds unusual. You should convey these symptoms to your surgeon (or his nurse). They know what was done at surgery and should help guide you through your recovery.
