Neuroplaxia, swelling, recovery? 17 days post facelift

Thank you for your question. Some of what your are describing is normal after a facelift, such as numbness and swelling. In addition, you should be assessed in person to have the swelling controlled. It is still very early in the healing phase. All the best,

Severe asymmetric swelling after a facelift would prompt me to consider the possibility of a hematoma. This should be drained. Seldom to swelling require steroids after a facelift. This is something that should be followed carefully by your own surgeon.
