I had SMAS facelift 3 months ago. My incisions are along the length of the front part of my ears, continuing around behind my ears, across to my hairline, and extending into my scalp about an inch. They are healing normally. I usually get a Brazilian Blowout done on my hair 2-3 times a year, and it’s about time for my next one. Is a Brazilian Blowout OK three months after a facelift? I asked my surgeon, she was not familiar with the treatment, but said I have no limitations. What do you think?
