Dancing is a big part of my life, including a style which includes a lot of bending and head swirling (Zouk). I've read a lot of posts on the forum about swelling and general tightness after a face lift, some of which has lasted a considerable amount of time. How long after a face and neck lift would I be able to get back to dancing ?Would there be any residual tightening that would make this difficult?
Answer: How long before I can get back to dance and yoga routines after a face and neck lift? In most cases you can go back to totally unrestricted activity by 6 weeks. You can usually resume very long walks or using an elliptical machine by 4 weeks. Investing time in the healing process is very important to maximize the surgical outcome.

Answer: When do you return to a normal routine after surgery? Thank you for your question. With regards to your information post-surgery, this would have been shared with you before and after, did you receive this information? Did you receive information with regards to healing expectancy? Typically after surgery, any time from 2 weeks is fine (once the wounds have healed that is). Swelling from the surgery, of course, subsides after a few months. With regards to exercise, you should be fine to continue after 10-14 days post-surgery. Of course, I would say if you have any concerns then to consult with your surgeon. Following the surgery, you should have regular check-ups on your healing progress and for your surgeon to answer any questions you may have. The initial tightness will subside following the procedure where after a matter of weeks you'll be feeling like you can carry on with your daily routine. Of course, do not push yourself, just make sure you're not straining yourself or making yourself uncomfortable whilst healing, it's important you take it easy and not cause stress on your body. Good luck!

Answer: When to Resume Dancing and Yoga After a Facelift? This is something you need to discuss with your surgeon who knows you best. For my patients, I want them to wait 6 weeks before resuming any type of formal exercise. Good luck!

Answer: How long before I can get back to dance and yoga routines after a face and neck lift? #facelift #necklift Thank you for your question. This is a question I get quite often from my patients. Every surgeon will have his/her own protocol about when you can resume your normal activity. Typically, though, any strenuous exercise should be resumed 4-6 weeks from surgery. You will still most likely have some tightness in the face and neck when you resume yoga and dance. So it is still important to take it relatively easy while you are restarting your routine. However, this will lessen with time. Be sure to ask your surgeon for his/her preference for post-operative activity.I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
