Answer: Swelling after Deep Plane Facelift If performed correctly, the deep plane facelift procedure is the creme de la creme of techniques for a natural looking and lasting result. Swelling is usually worst for the first 2 days after which time it will start to go down before it finally subsides. We ask our patients to give it 12 days plus/minus before planning to re-enter their lives. Some people heal quicker, others may take a couple of days longer. Attending a party 3 weeks after your surgery is usually fine, even though you may still be self-conscious.

Answer: Swelling and Recovery After Deep Plane Facelift Please remember that at 1 week, it is still extremely early in the game of recovery. You will look much better at 3 weeks, usually being able to wear some degree of coverup makeup at 2 weeks postop. Your question highlights the two types of recovery that occur for patients after a deep plane facelift: 1) physical recovery, and 2) psychological/confidence recovery. You are going to look much better at the 3 week mark, but you might not feel like you are completely healed. That's because you will still be early in the recovery process. However, you will most likely be at the point where most people will tell you that you look great, and have no idea that you had surgery. Confidence recovery is variable from individual to individual. Best to keep in close contact with your Surgeon and staff for reassurance.

Answer: Plan to look swollen. Sometimes you get a mosquito bite and it is gone overnight. Other times you may have swelling and redness that persists all summer and into the fall! Both situations involve inflammation and it's somewhat hard to predict how long it will last.

Answer: Social downtime after deep plane facelift. I recommend planning no social events for at least 3 weeks after facelift. This is the minimum amount of time we recommend for healing. Keep in mind that, although infrequent, patients who are healing normally may require more than three weeks before they are socially presentable. In that case, give yourself time to heal and skip the social gatherings.

Answer: Swelling after deep plane face lift It's normal to have swelling at 1 week, especially after a deep plane face lift. Make sure you follow up with your surgeon. Most times, I will prescribe a short taper of oral steroid to help with swelling.

Answer: Healing After Facelift Surgery While the healing time from a Deep Plane Facelift is not necessarily longer than a lateral SMAS facelift, most people have about 2 to 3 weeks of social down time. This also depends on what other procedures are done along with the facelift. Most people look amazing at 6 weeks and mostly healed within 3 months.There are ways to expedite the resolution of swelling such as steroid doses and some remedies such as Arnica and Bromelain/Quercetin. Lymphatic drainage can also be beneficial. Speak to your physician about things they recommend.
