Down time with face/necklift and upper blepharoplasty - is 3 weeks enough time?

Question

I am wanting to get a Traditional Face and Neck lift, along with an upper blepharolplasty, but finding it very hard to schedule more than 3 weeks away from work and public events. Do you think that 3 weeks is enough time that I can be in public and others not be able to tell? Especially people that I see a lot and know me well?

Everyone is a little different but 3 weeks off should be plenty of time to recover.  If you were having your lower lids done you might expect some bruising on your cheeks that would be the most obvious.  But just a face and upper  lids 3 weeks will be enough

Richard Baxter, MD · Answer

3 weeks is probably enough recovery time for facelift and upper blepharoplasty, but it depends a lot on how secretive you want to be. If you want it to be worth the expense and recovery time, then you want to have a noticeable difference. Techniques such as the hemostatic net have made a definite difference in recovery time.

Without posting photos, it is difficult to see the degree of surgery you may need. Either repost facial photos and eyelid photos or do a virtual consult full face neck, muscle plication, and upper eyelid fees range from $12,000-$30,000. Best of virtual concert with. Again, I would recommend four weeks at a minimum recovery. Regards.
