When safe to stretch facial muscles after lower face & neck revision (behind ear & hairline incision)?

I sadly have to do a revision for lower face and neck. The plan would be incision behind ear and at hairline to lift jowls and neck. I am an actress. How long do I need to wait to stretch my face muscles, jaw, tongue and mouth. I need to continue to do my vocal exercises!! Thank you.

After a certain point, the "non-invasive" methods such as FaceTite will not be enough to achieve the outcome you are seeking. I would highly recommend a revisionary facelift/necklift to get the outcome you are seeking. These are all my own opinions based on the photos provided. I would recommend...

Do I need a revision or is there other treatments for stress lines in the skin after facelift? (Photo)

Hello. These are not stress lines, these are classic complication problems of a superficial facelift done in the wrong vector and overdrawn. I think you had your surgery recently because your suture scars have not healed yet. Therefore, you can wait a little longer and then get rid of this...
