I'm seeing how much I take for granted my ability to turn my head. When will I be able to turn it safely without ripping apart at the seams? Until that point, do you think a swivel seat will suffice when I'm driving? Or should I avoid driving altogether until I can safely swivel my head? Thanks!

Answer: Head motion after facelift With a properly done facelift, you should be able to move your head immediately, without fear of damaging anything.As for driving, I usually recommend that patients wait under the beginning of the second week - once swelling has started to go down, they can move more easily, and are off their pain pills.

Answer: When can I turn my head after face and neck lift surgery? Hello! Thank you for your question! Typically, restrictions are strict for the first 2 weeks postoperative. Gentlem/light motion and activity is encouraged, however. In regards to driving, it is unsafe to drive while still on narcotic medications and if you are unable to turn your head. Once these restrictions are lifted and you are back to normal activities, you may proceed. Answers will vary among surgeons, so best to ask your surgeon for direct instructions. Hope that these answers help! Best wishes!

Answer: Head turning after facelift Thank you for the question. Generally speaking, I ask patients to limit their activities for 2 weeks after face and neck lift. Driving should be avoided until you can safely turn your head to look for merging traffic. If your incisions are closed well, in multiple layers, this sort of activity should not in any way compromise the healing.
