I read that some patients have a compression bandage for several days and some do not. is there a difference in treatments? Like a deep plane lift does not require the compression band or is it just the surgeons choice? I have yet not had my facelift but is planning one in december.
Answer: Facelift Compression Garment Thank you for your question. Facelift surgery does not necessarily require use of bandages. Many surgeons do, however, used bandage aiming to reduce bruising. I personally do not use bandages for my facelift patients. Instead, I take a little extra time during the operation to ensure small areas of bleeding have been carefully cauterised. Bandages do not always necessarily prevent possible swelling. I do not use bandage or drains and have pioneered The Concept Facelift, having a 0% incident rate of hematoma. It is important to focus more on the results of your surgeon as illustrated in their pre & post operative facelift patients. Do you like their results, will the surgeon meet your expectations, is the facility where you are going to have your surgery performed accredited? These might be much more important. I do not think the use of drains /bandages or not drains/bandages would reflect the surgeons ability. All The Best

Answer: Bandages after #facelift The postoperative management including choice of bandages and dressings will be based on each surgeon's preference. In general, there are usually bandages for the first 24-48 hours to absorb any fluid from the early incisions.

Answer: How come some Facelifts don't require a compression bandage or compression band for several days? What is best for healing? It is surgeon preference. Compression bandages around the face and neck do not prevent swelling and bruising and in my opinion are unnecessary. I place a dressing over facelift incisions to absorb drainage from incisions and the dressing is removed the day after surgery so the patient can shower and wash the hair.

Answer: Compression wraps After elevation on the tissues in a facelift, the space should be closed to permit healing without shifting or collection of blood or fluid in the potential space. This can be accomplished by either a suction drain or some supportive compression. Facelift procedures vary in the extent of the skin elevation, which can affect the possibility of fluid collections. Compression, elevation, ice and reduced activity are also generally believed to reduce bruising and swelling after injuries or surgery. I prefer recommend all of these and anything else that may help reduce overall recovery time. I hope this helps.
