Facelift Deep Plane 3 Weeks Ago. Skin is Very Dry and Swelling Around Cheeks and Face and Ears is Not Going Down.

Asked By:Forlorn in New Jersey

Is it normal to have excessively dry skin after deep plane facelift? What can be done to get my old soft skin back? Doc said to put makeup on to go to work but I cannot do that as my skin is so dry that makeup sticks to it and flakes. Will drinking more water help? My swelling is also pretty bad around the cheek, neck, and front of the ear areas. They are painful and I look like a Macy's blowup doll at the parade! What can be done to help the swelling go down in short order?
