Can I attend a friend's wedding party 3 weeks after deep plane face lift?

K
kayrrrrrFeb 13, 2018

My surgery is already booked. I’m having deep plane face lift, rhinoplasty, endoscopic forehead lift and little bit fat transfer. Just my friend asked me if I can attend her wedding party after 3 weeks of my surgery. Good thing is all my friends lives in another states they haven’t seen me for long time. So it’s not gonna be like i see someone who see me daily basis. But will it still be the problem??

It is hard to tell without looking at the swelling. While swelling is normal after any procedure, I would recommend checking with your plastic surgeon to make sure there is nothing to be concerned about.
