How soon can I return to work after my facelift, neck and eyes?

Thank you for your question.  Please follow the protocol of your surgeon as every facelift is different.  I perform a facelift under a local anaesthetic meaning limited bruising.  This means my patients typically return to work after 7-14 days.  If they have a manual job I would suggest return after 14 days.  All The Best 

This is something you will have to discuss with you doctor. I tell my patients that they need to 'take it easy' for 2 weeks after surgery, this includes heavy lifting and bending over. My patients who do excessive exercising or lots of strenuous activity such as Yoga, or golfing regularly, I tell tell them to wait up to 3 weeks before resuming those activities. As you can see from all the answers, you are looking at a 2-3 week recovery, I am sure your surgeon is  along the same lines, so definitely follow up and ask her advice as there are some circumstances that require further recovery, especially if you have excessive swelling or bruising after the procedure.
