I recommend you wait until things are well healed and you get the okay from your surgeon. In my practice I would advise waiting about a month.
The length of time after a facelift surgery to have a facial can vary. Once tissues have healed and are no longer tender, a patient can consider having a facial which is usually 2-4 weeks after surgery.
I allow my patients to get a facial from our aestheticians within 7-10 days post faceliftsurgery. The lymphatic massage in this area will allow for maximize wound healing anddecreasing of swelling. This is a routine part of my postoperative facelift regimen.
