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: 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: Numbness and Tightness after Lower Facelift It is not unusual to feel tightness and numbness after a lower facelift. The tightness is likely a good sign as it implies your surgeon acheive a good lift in the neck region. At this time, I would consider massage and range of motion exercises in your neck.In regards to numbness, it is likely temporary but it could be permanent. Nerves are the slowest tissues in the body to heal. They will continue to heal for at least 1 year after surgery. I would give it time and the numbness will likely resolve.I hope this helps.
