Is it normal to be itchy after a facelift?

Without pictures, more history, and doing an examination, it's hard to tell if the itching is related to the facelift. I always recommend that patients go back to their original surgeon as a follow up if there are any concerns.  Occasionally there may be inflammation of the incision that can be treated with topical medications, lasers, or injections. If it's been less than a year, it may be a normal part of the healing process.   

It would be unusual for a facelift to cause itching a year after the procedure, but an examination of you would be needed to give you better advice.  I would recommend seeing the surgeon who performed your facelift to see if there is any connection between the facelift and your itching.  

I have seen itching around the scars and it usually 
subsides within a few months. If you are past full
maturation (6-12 months) you may need to be examine 
for other possible causes. Best wishes.

hi there, thanks for your question whilst it's not altogether unusual to have itchiness with any wound it depends mostly on the site and the extent of de-nervation of the overlying skin. Most common reason for this feeling is as the overlying skin starts to reinnervate, if that is the case it will last for a few weeks sometimes to month and then resolve. Good luck 

I recommend that you see your surgeon.  It is normal to have some itching or other paresthesias for 6 mos or so after a facelift.  This normally stops once you have regained all the sensation back in your face.  However, I have not seen itching 1 year out from a FL.  

Itching in the early healing process is extremely common and not an issue. This late to be complaining is a bit more puzzling. I would see your physician and see if something else is going on.All the best,Talmage Raine MD
