The mini face lift would be May 23 and my son's wedding is June 19th. I am concerned about swelling, bruising, etc. I am fair-skinned, bruise easily and have very short hair that does not cover my ears. In addition to a mini face lift, I will have fat grafting around the mouth and under the eyes. I have practically no fat that needs to be removed. But I do have a little loose skin in the neck and very slight jowls. Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated.

Answer: Mini-lift timing and recovery Thank you for the question. My honest opinion is that, even if everything goes perfectly, you will feel rushed in your recovery. Ideally, 6-8 weeks is best between a mini-facelift and any sort of major event. You could always do some non-surgical things before the wedding (injectables, laser, etc.) and then the lift afterwards. Take care and enjoy!

Answer: Enough Time Thank you for your question. Most patient look great after a Mini Facelift with ancillary treatments by 2 to 3 weeks. This is a huge family event and you want to look your best which makes perfect sense but that said ABSOLUTELY do not do the procedure! This momentous day deserves your full attention and you want to enjoy every minute. Any set back, minor or major, would be a shame and take away from your evening. If you are a candidate some well done fillers and neurotoxin Botox or Dysport) might be great options to help you look your best. In my opinion enjoy the night and put this off for another time.Best of LuckDrG
