I'm worried about scars showing.
Answer: Facelift recovery The answer to this can widely vary. Each person heals in a unique manner but I would say you should have all drains and sutures removed by approximately 1 week post op. Most of the bruising is typically fading by about 2-3 weeks, and you can begin resuming exercise, etc close to a month. Keep in mind all of these vary from person to person but may help you as a general guide.

Answer: Appearance at 7 weeks after facelift Thank you for your question. I would say that in the significant majority of cases, patients would be very comfortable being out in public at 7 weeks. The face lift scars could still be a little pink for a while beyond that. Depending on hair style, that may, or may not be an issue. Makeup can be used over the scars if needed.

Answer: Facelift recovery time Thank you for your question!With regards to your healing time with a facelift, this can take up to 10-14 days to resume normal practices and a couple of months for the initial swelling to go down. 7 weeks for all of the procedures is more than enough time. Please bear in mind that the redness to scars can take up to a year to mature. Scars are a normal result of any form of surgery. Sometimes the scars are more noticeable due to their position or site, whether they are raised or depressed, whether they differ in colour and texture from the surrounding skin. Ensure before having the surgery, you full understand the position of your surgeons scars, which'll put your mind at rest. All surgeons will have pictures of their scars, feel free to ask them.Good luck!

Answer: 7 Weeks Enogh to RecoverFrom a Facelift? At 7 weeks the bruising will be all gone, the swelling may last for several more weeks but there will be very little left and mostly likely not noticeable. The incisions may stay red for almost a year but should be easy to hide with makeup and hair styles. Good luck.

Answer: 7 weeks will be reasonable... Hello LindaB, Assuming a trouble - free surgery, 7 weeks will be fine for a reasonable recovery - defining recovery as back to the regular activities of your daily life, and sitting across the table from someone who knows you well who cannot quite decide what has changed... Strategies we use in our team to promote rapid recovery if appropriate are 'twilight anaesthesia', good preparation and bespoke surgical planning, and avoidance of drains. We aim for our patients to pass the 'dinner party test' at 2 weeks. This is of course variable, and very much individually planned. An online opinion is no substitute for a consultation. best of luck.. Jonathan A Britto, Consultant Plastic and Craniofacial surgeon, London UK

Answer: Facelift recovery 7 weeks should be sufficient recovery time. Most bruising and swelling subsides by 2 to 3 weeks. The scars by week 7 should not be noticeable although on close inspection they may still be a little pink. There may be some mild puffiness of the face which should not be too noticeable.
