Answer: Facelift There are many things that can affect the longevity of a facelift including varying degree of elasticity, sun exposure. Does weightlifting cause the skin to stretch? Hard to know and I’m sure it varies from patient to patient

Answer: Strenuous Activity After a Facelift Hello, hope you are well. That's a great question. A year after a deep plane facelift the soft tissues have healed to the point where the tensile strength of the scar tissue has reached its maximum and is supporting the lift (rather than sutures in or under the skin). Weightlifting will not undo the results because everything has healed into its new position and the excess skin has already been removed. Earlier in the healing phase, especially for the first 6 weeks, strenuous activity and neck range of motion should be limited.
