Recovery from facelift, fat transfer and CO2 laser procedure.
gettingbetterJul 25, 2016
I had a facelift, fat transfer (cheeks, temples and a bit in lips) and CO2 laser 7 days ago. How long should the numbness around my ears, sides of face and under neck last? Will the 'hardness' of my cheeks eventually soften? When does the swelling cease? Does some of the fat transfer eventually become absorbed, so am less puffy & my smile will look more normal? When does the tightness around neck and face relax? Is anything extra I can do to facilitate effective healing? Thanks so much!
