Answer: Facelift Thanks for the question.First 24-48 hours after the operation face will be swelling. After 48 hours swelling will be decreases. Scalp area stitches are taken from the day 10. Final results may take 1 month. Patients can return to work after 1 week. The effect of gravity varies according to the aging speed and lifestyle but it provides an average permanent effect of 10 years. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Using cold compresses is usually effective only for the first two days. It seems that your recovery after surgery is going okay. Usually cold compresses are effective for the first two days. After two days, the swelling is at a maximum and then starts getting better. Please make sure not to use cold compresses or ice too long or often as the last thing you want to get is frostbite or injure your skin since it might be numb after your surgery.

Answer: There is no evidence that cold compresses aging swelling when administered a few hours after facelift. Cool compresses or ice in the first few hours after facelift probably helps swelling modestly. After that it has no effect and is used primarily for comfort.

Answer: Swelling after a facelift varies Swelling after a facelift varies, depending on your age, what medications you normally take, on the surgical technique used etc. It is perfectly normal to remain visibly swollen for two weeks or so, and it can really take full three months or more for all swelling to be completely resolved. I don't think cold compresses will make much of a difference 9 days after surgery.
