How soon is reasonable for Leisure Travel after Lower Face and Neck Lift?

Thanks for the question. You should be able to go on vacation by 1-2 weeks after your surgery. But this is valid only with assuming postoperative recovery is uneventful. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.

Thanks for posting your question.  For a long trip abroad I feel you have adequate time as long as their are no post op complications from the surgery.  In experienced hands post op complications are rare so i do not think you need to scrap the trip. Perhaps trip cancellation insurance would be indicated. In fact I would say it would be fine to travel as you are doing even 3-4 weeks after a facelift as long as everything has healed normally.  Of course everyone heals differently depending on how extensive the procedure.  Please meet with your surgeon to go over your concerns as only he truly knows exactly what is being performed.  

It has been our policy to release facelift and neck lift patients to normal activities after 2 weeks. This includes exercise and travel. By this time sufficient healing has taken place to remove these restrictions.
