I had the facelift 3 months ago
Answer: Facelift Usually tightness does not increase with time since tissues will generally relax with time. However if swelling is the issue, some contours will improve as this resolves.

Answer: Facelift Does Not Continue to Tighten While it takes between three to six months for a facelift to fully heal, the skin will not get tighter than it did immediately after the procedure. Swelling, however, will subside. If you feel your skin is still lax after your facelift, you may need resurfacing with lasers or a chemical peel. Your best course of action is to go back to your facial plastic surgeon to find out how you are progressing in your healing and if anything else needs to be done to get you the results you were hoping for. If the answer doesn't satisfy you, then I'd suggest getting a second or third opinion. I hope this helps.

Answer: Facelift healing process Hello,No physician will disagree with the healing process taking 6 months to a year to see one's final result. A great deal depends on your age, health and what was performed. You can look at case # 0033 to see the evolution of the healing process in the link below. In terms of your skin becoming tighter after 3 month, this would not be normal. If you he concerns, you should speak with your surgeon. For sure there will be an evolution in your appearance but this is usually related to the reduction of swelling. Hope this helps!Sincerely, Dr. K

Answer: Facelift: Will my face tighten after 3 months? After a facelift, the tightest that your face will appear is usually 3days after surgery. This is when I find that my patients are at the peak of their swelling. The muscles will not get any tighter than what was done surgically at the time of your procedure. What I find is that at three months or later, the result that you see will most accurately represent how things will look for the long term. It will not tighten as time goes on.
