How long does it take for the swelling and handlebar to go away after a SMAS Facelift? (photos)

Thank you for your question and pictures. Please do have a follow up to see whether you have a haematoma and if anything needs to be drained.  All The Best 

Although hard to tell from photos alone, that looks like excess skin. That can be seen after a hematoma. It may require excision down the road if it doesn't resolve on its own. Unfortunately, that can take weeks to months. Best to discuss this with your surgeon as he or she will be best able to advise you as he or she has the most knowledge about the particular facts of your case.
