Answer: Raspy Voice After Facelift As other posters have noted, this is most likely related to the breathing tube utilized for the procedure and should resolve in due course. A few things I would recommend: avoid caffeine, citrus juices, chocolate or other acidic food substances. If you have a history of acid reflux that requires medication, taking the medication could help speed the healing process. Keep your Surgeon posted on your progress.

Answer: Hoarseness after facelift surgery It is likely that you have some swelling from the tube used to put you asleep for anesthesia. This can occur during a facelift or any procedure where general anesthesia is used. It is not uncommon for some of my patients to have similar complaints and also a sore throat. This typically resolves within a week or two. However, if your symptoms persist then I would discuss this issue with your surgeon.
