Do I put anything on scabs after facelift?

Patients with questions and concerns about their healing process and possible scar creams should ask the plastic surgeon that performed the operation for advice/ recommendations. Patients should not apply any scar creams to facelift scars that is not approved by their surgeon to avoid compromising the healing process. 

Thank you for your question.If the scabs are dry, leave them alone, they act as a biological dressing and will come off naturally, as any other scabs do.If the scabs are wet or there is redness around the area (erythema), this could mean an infection is brewing and your surgeon should see you just to check to ensure this will not lead to cellulitis.All the best 

Usually you want to keep the incisions moist with antibiotic ointment during the healing phase.  If there are any scabs, these can be debrided by your surgeon or just allow them to fall on their own as the skin heals.
