Answer: How Should you Sleep and Take Care of Your Skin After a Facelift It's best to sleep on your back with your head elevated at least 30% to reduce excessive swelling to the face. Post-surgery, you will want to continue to eat well and stay hydrated to ensure optimal healing as well as be compliant with any additional post-operative care instructions from your surgeon. I recommend an anti-aging protocol of ZO Skin Health products to my patients in order to help them protect their investment and enhance the results of their surgery.
