I am 3 weeks Post Op. My Doctor said I could return to bike riding & exercise. Because my neck still feels really tight & swollen, I am hesitant to ride as it requires major head turning. Will leaning forward on my handle bars & possibly turning my head quickly from side to side damage my neck & lower facelift in any way? I also dance with lot of twirling partner's arms overhead. Not sure how comfortable I am returning to biking, twirling and yoga. I appreciate your thoughts on when I can return to

Answer: #facelift #cosmeticsurgery #recovery #scars #beauty #activity Dear Adele91433Thank you for your question! Congrats and happy recovery! I prefer my patients to ask me about their activities etc- generally after 10 days it is safe to resume your previous activities . If you are concerned then slow return is recommended- so short bike rides, dancing with less aggressive spinning etc.With Warmest RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Answer: How long after a #facelift can one resume bicycling and other high-energy activities? Thank you for your questions.In my practice, I ask my patients to refrain from bicycling and swimming for 6 weeks. I am concerned that with quick and excessive neck movements the scars will widen sligthly. It is also safer to wait until all is healed prior to restarting physcial activities, for your own safety.Hope this helps!
