With normal healing after a face and neck lift, there should not be a problem to have waxing of the sideburns/jawline, upper lip and chin/neck 8 weeks after surgery. It is always best to ask your particular surgeon to be on the safe side.
In general, it is safe to have areas of the face gently waxed 8 weeks after a lower facelift. However it is best to check with your surgeon before proceeding to better determine if you have adequately healed.If a laser treatment or chemical peel was also performed at the same time the timeline to have waxing or laser hair removal may be longer.
... Yes, go for it! The only area I would have any concerns about (but not at 8 weeks) is the sideburn area.
Everyone is in a rush to have facial procedures performed after facelift surgery. Here is a list of facial procedures and when you can perform them;Make-up - typically, cover-up makeup can be applied gently by day #10 (ask your doctor).Ear rings - thats right - no ear rings for three weeks (heavy ones may even be longer).Color your hair - I advise my patients that they can color their hair when the incision behind their ears is fully healed. See your doctor to confirm that healing is complete.Facial waxing - waxing of areas not directly involved in the surgery can be performed 3 weeks after the surgery, but sideburns and cheek areas should wait until week #8.For more information, read my book "A More Beautiful You- Reverse aging through skin care, plastic surgery and lifestyle solutions.

The internal sutures used for suspension of your muscles and tissues (SMAS and platysma muscle) should not not be affected, and you are not likely to develop a hematoma (collection of blood) at 18 days following surgery. So you are very likely to be OK. HOWEVER, this type of question should...
This is a classic problem that clearly bothers you and is a mystery. I do not know why you have what you have, I guess you could have had some nerve changes but bilateral is rare. You need to go back to your original surgeon and get an assessment...
Thank you for your question. Physical activity following a face lift potentially can help the healing process three to six weeks following a procedure. Judging on when your surgery is and when the trip is you should be capable of full physical activity. However that is quite a long walk. You may...
