I had a SMAS facelift/necklift 5 weeks ago. Recovery 'normal' - initial deep bruising and ongoing swelling. Resumed most of my activities and people don't notice surgery. My concern now is extreme discomfort/tightness/tiredness as day progresses. Work (part time) and socialising involve lots of talking and expressive smiling. How careful do I need to be at this stage? (Can I do harm?) Best way to deal with discomfort? (Neck bandage helps face but neck swells) Advice, tips much appreciated!
