I had a deep plane face lift 9 weeks ago and although I look fine, the amount of numbing and tingling still present really bothers me. The worst areas are along my jaw line, behind my ears, and my upper cheek area under my eyes. I did not have my eyes done but I have dry eyes as a result of the face lift. Is all this normal? My doctor says to give it time. Does a deep plane lift take longer to heal? If so, what is the average waiting time? Will my face ever feel normal again? I'm scared.
Answer: Deep plane face lift and numbness
This numbness will go away over the next few months. Your nerves grow about a mm a day in the best conditions. So you can see how it will take a while.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Numbness It is common for numbness to occur after a facelift. It can take a few weeks for numbness to go away, but sometimes it may take up to a year. Nerve regeneration will slowly occur over this time, allowing you to have sensation again, and this is associated with tingling.

Answer: Long Recovery typical after Deep Plane Face Lift
There is a good reason most facelift surgeons do not use the deep plane technique: long recovery, increased complication rate, and many other negative factors. It is however a great technique in the right hands but losing popularity because other facelift procedures also give great results with less risk and morbidity. The tingling and numbness can occur after many different types of face lifts
An experienced facelift surgeon will let you know the best procedure for you.

Answer: Will resolve..
Typically in my practice, a deep plane facelift heals at a similar rate to a SMAS flap/platysma facelift which means my patients look pretty good in about 10 days. The factors which affect the time of healing are related to the type of surgery, level of trauma and time of surgery as well as individual variation in healing. Generally speaking most colleagues would concur that the majority of your symptoms will resolve over several months.

Answer: Numbing and tingling after deep plane face lift
It usually takes 3-6 months for the face to feel normal again. Numbness may be the cause of the nerves being disrupted during the procedure.
