What is the downtime after a facelift?

The
downtime after a facelift is about 2 weeks, and you
can be back to your normal daily activities. At 4 weeks post-op you can resume
all exercise.

You may not want to go back to within a week. You still may be swollen and may want to stay home another week. You want to be able to give yourself time to heal. I would also speak to your surgeon and see what they recommend that is best for you.
