I just had a facelift this morning and can't sleep @ all and have a headache in the back of my head for about 4 hours

Yes, this very well can be normal after anesthesia and a facelift. The head wrap maybe a little tight and some people after anesthesia have headaches. However if the pain is getting worst or you just want some reassurance the best thing to do is to contact your plastic surgeon directly. Hope this helps

You shouldn't sleep on your face for a while after surgery. After about 2-4 weeks, you can start to sleep in this way. In case of any problems, you should contact a Board Certified Surgeon.

 You should feel comfortable calling your surgeon with your issues. He does specifically what operation was performed and is devoted to making a comfortable after the operation.

The headache is usually due to a tight head wrap and post general anesthesia. Many patients have insomnia the first night following facelift with general anesthesia. We recommend sleeping pills to help patients to sleep. I perform facelift with local anesthesia and twilight sedation. Patients experience minimal discomfort or complication associated with general anesthesia. 

These are not unusual symptoms, especially if a brow lift was performed with the face lift.  If a head dressing was used, it may be too tight.  If drains were used, they tend to make sleeping uncomfortable until they are removed.  You should contact your surgeon to discuss your concerns.

Yes this is very normal following a facelift, the incisions around your ear and extending into your scalp tend to cause headaches in the early post operative period. Follow up with your plastic surgeon to ensure everything is healing as expected.
