How long will I have to sleep sitting up after having a face lift ? I am planning a face lift , breast implants , lipo sculpting , and trouser lift tummy tuck in one surgery . I am worried about coping with the pain on my above bottom cut line whilst sleeping upright wondering how long I will have to open and any ideas on how to ease the pressure on this area ?

Answer: Sleeping Position Post Facelift I recommend that my patients keep their head elevated at a 45-degreeangle for the first 2 weeks using a wedge rest or well-placed pillow. Talk to your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for your post-op instructions.

Answer: Multiple procedures at once The specific postoperative instructions should only be dictated by your operating surgeon, rather than we consultants who have never seen or met you. It is much better practice to go with the advice of the one who is planning all aspects of your surgery.But, facelift, implants, liposuction, and tummy tuck/lower body lift in one procedure??WAY too much surgery to have at once. This will significantly increase your risk for clots which have the potential to be lethal. In the absolute best case scenario, trying to cram in all these procedures in a safe amount of time means most likely cutting corners, rushing, and mediocre results.Get a second and third opinion, and good luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA
