What type of nutritional supplementation can support healing after facelift? Can taking type 1 collagen with HA help?

Asked By:Seajay

5 months after neck and facelift, I am still completely numb, with tightness, hardness, and dry skin. I understand nerves take time to regenerate and that scar tissue had been laid down beneath the undermined skin---that the type of collagen initially deposited is type III which is stiff and knotted but gets converted to smoother, more flexible collagen type I over time. I've read that taking collagen type I with HA and vit C promotes healthy skin. Might it help with the hardness and tightness?
