Surgery Ria Posting update : 2021.08.27



It is very important to follow post-operative instructions after a Face lift. You need to follow all the instructions to make sure you minimize swelling and accelerate the recovery process. Here, I will list all the necessary guidelines for Facelift.





Many people may think that Facelift is a complicated procedure. However, this is the only treatment that can effectively improve your cheeks, chin, jowls, and nasolabial folds site. It is important to note that the success of the operation depends not only on the plastic surgeon but the patients too. Specifically, patients need to take proper post-operative care to get the best results.


You should keep your head elevated and sleep on the back after surgery. You also need to take all the prescribed medications for 5 days after the surgery. The medications will ease pain and make you recover faster. It is also important to place ice packs over both of the surgical sites. For the first 2 days, you need to apply an ice pack. Later on, you can apply warm packs. You should avoid doing sports, lifting heavy things, and visiting the sauna.
