I am four months Post Op from having a Face and Necklift. I still have tenderness, soreness and tightness behind my ears. How long does it take for this to heal?
Answer: Recovery after facelift There are a couple of ways to answer your question. I tell patients that they will be out and about in public in 7-10 days, with cover-up make up. I call this social recovery. It takes an additional six months or so to completely recover to the point that there is no tenderness or swelling

Answer: Post op healing timetable Since everyone heals at her own rate, it's hard to say. Most patients will see a significant improvement at 6 months post op but it may take up to a year for your face to fully resolve. If the swelling gets worse, however, schedule an appointment to see your surgeon to have your face assessed in person. Hope this helps.Kindly,Kouros Azar

Answer: Facelift/Necklift Recovery Thank you for your question. Cost is always a consideration in elective surgery. In facelift surgery, the costs vary quite a bit from a mini facelift to a complex facelift with forehead lift, eyelid surgery and perhaps an implant or laser resurfacing. Please see our Payment Options page under About Us.

Answer: It's Worth Consulting With Your Surgeon Usually, tenderness, tightness, and soreness will resolve within 2 months. I do not know if you had open wounds with delayed healing, but I would consult with your surgeon. This is unusual. With time, your symptoms should resolve, but when they are this prolonged, the process will be slow. I have seen several patients for a second opinion with prolonged symptoms. Sometimes massage, ultrasound, physical therapy, or other treatments can improve the situation. Although it is a difficult problem, symptoms have always improved with time in my experience.

Answer: You're Experiencing Normal Sensations Thanks for your question. The localized tenderness you're feeling is quite normal, even 4 months after facelift surgery. The incisions and surrounding areas are usually the last part of the face to fully heal after surgery. As long as the pain is not severe enough to prevent you from enjoying your regular activities, there's no cause for alarm. If you still don't feel an improvement after another month or so, though, please reach out to your surgeon. Best of luck to you.
