How long does numbness after a facelift last? 2 months post-op.

Thank you for your question, the sensory nerves can take 3-6 months for sensation to return.  This should slowly get better each month.  All The Best 

Hello, thank you for your question. To still be numb after this amount of time is normal and you should not be concerned. Sensory nerves in your face grow back at different paces for different people. Usually some feeling should return at around 3 months post-op, but this varies and it could take longer…even up to 6 months or one year. Good luck! 

Numbness is a very common side-effect following a facelift procedure. As sensory nerves recover, most patients start to notice a gradual resolution of numbness over the course of 2-3 months, but for some patients it can take up to a year to regain complete feeling to the areas that were operated on. Be sure to keep all of your follow up appointments with your surgeon to ensure that you are well on your way to recovery and healing properly.
