Redness when I am hot or drink hot fluids. Is this typical? (photos)

It's not uncommon for redness to persist for some time after a facelift, particularly if you're exposed to heat or consume hot fluids. However, 15 months is a relatively long time frame for redness to persist, and it's worth discussing your concerns with the surgeon who performed your facelift.

In some cases, redness after a facelift can be a sign of inflammation or infection. Your surgeon may want to examine you to rule out these possibilities and ensure that you're healing properly.

It's also possible that the redness is simply a result of increased blood flow to the face, which can be more noticeable when you're hot or consuming hot fluids. Your surgeon can help you determine whether this is the case and whether any further treatment or follow-up is necessary.

In any case, it's always a good idea to discuss any concerns you have with your surgeon, as they are the best resource for understanding your unique situation and ensuring that you're healing as expected.

You probably turned red when drinking hot liquids or getting hot before your lift and this is related to your type of skin and hormones and not surgery.
