How long after facelift is it safe to color hair, should hairdresser put anything on scar before color?
Answer: Coloring your hair after facelift Thank you for the great question. In my practice, we ask patients to wait 6 weeks before coloring their hair. This prevents irritation of the incision lines and avoids the possibility of some of the chemicals getting into the incisions. If you wanted to be extra cautious, you could place a thin coat of vaseline or aquaphor on the incisions before the color is applied. Take care and best of luck!

Answer: How long after a facelift is it safe to color my hair? Hair color chemicals can be very irritating to the skin. Depending on the product, they may include ammonia, peroxide, and other organic ingredients with varying degrees of tissue toxicity. Facelift incisions should not be exposed prematurely. I recommend avoidance of hair dyes for about 4 to 6 weeks after surgery depending on healing and ultimately the advice of your operating surgeon. Best wishes!

Answer: Hair care post facelift You should be able to color your hair four weeks after a facelift. Instruct your hairdresser to use caution around your ears with the chemicals and moving your ears around during washing and cutting your hair. It is important to follow the postop instructions of your own board certified plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon.
