Can a vibrating facial brush be used after a Facelift?

Thank you Elisa for your question.  Every surgeon has specific post-op instructions and I would contact him/her or the clinic's nurse.  In my practice, I allow the facial brush and the application of make-up 3 weeks post-op assuming healing has progressed as expected.  I ask for 4-6 weeks prior to hair-colouring and my patients are instructed to do their colours 1 week pre-facelift as to not have to worry about "roots" for the first 4 weeks post facelift surgery.Hope this helps!Kind regards,Dr. Marc DuPere, Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon

Thank you for your question. It is best for you to discuss with your board certified facial plastic surgeon. You should receive and follow recovery instructions from the surgeon that performed your procedure as they have the most knowledge of your procedure and current needs and it is important that you remain consistent with your surgeon's wishes so that they can monitor your healing as effectively as possible.Best wishes,

I'd ask your surgeon when they feel it's safe to use a vibrating brush after a facelift. For my patients, I don't have a problem with them using a vibrating brush, like a Clarisonic, on the central part of their face immediately after a facelift. After two weeks, I let them use it on their whole face.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers
