Is it okay to have electrolysis work done on your face after a facelift?

Hello,While this could be possible and your skin will not be as sensitive, it maybe safer to wait until you have completely healed from your facial surgery.

I would suggest to patients that they wait at least 3 months postoperatively prior to manipulating and stretching the skin of their face after surgery.  I would defer the time frame needed to your operating surgeon, as he or she knows exactly what type of procedures were performed.  They will be able to provide you the most accurate time frame, so I suggest you contact them as well.  Good Luck

It is possible to have electrolysis on the face after a facelift and it should not cause any damage to your facelift results. However, different surgeons may have different lengths of time to wait before having electrolysis after the facelift. You should check with your particular surgeon to make sure what this time period is.

You can have electrolysis after facelifts but I would wait 2 or 3 months to allow for sub-total skin healing.  You might consider laser hair removal as well.

It is possible to have electrolysis after a facelift but you should consult with your plastic surgeon as to how much healing time should elapse prior to the treatment.  Also, I recommend that you inform the technician that you have had facial cosmetic surgery in discussing the planned treatment.
