What Level of Pain is Considered Normal After a Facelift?

Pain after a facelift is actually usually pretty
minimal. Your surgeon should prescribe some pain medications, but often
patients only use them for a day or two after surgery. Rather than pain,
patients most often experience discomfort from swelling, tightness, or
itchiness. This will be most pronounced in the first few days after surgery,
then should continue to subside over the next few weeks and months. Individuals
may have different pain tolerances, however, and if your pain medications don’t
help, I would advise visiting your surgeon for a follow-up visit.

Pain after surgery is normal, and it is generally well controlled by medication prescribed by your surgeon. If you are concerned about the level of pain you're experiencing, it's safer for you to see your surgeon just in case.
