Frequently asked questions

• How should I prepare for facelift surgery?

  Preparation for a facelift involves several steps, including undergoing a medical evaluation, stopping certain medications that can increase bleeding, quitting smoking to improve healing, and arranging for help during the recovery period. Your surgeon will provide a detailed list of preoperative instructions​.

• What results can I expect from a facelift, and how long will they last?

  A facelift can significantly reduce signs of aging, resulting in a more youthful and rested appearance. The results are generally long-lasting, typically ranging from five to ten years, depending on factors like skin quality, age, and lifestyle. However, a facelift does not stop the aging process, and some patients may choose to undergo minor touch-ups in the future.

• How long does recovery from a facelift take?

  Recovery times can vary, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within two to three weeks. Swelling and bruising are common initially and may take several weeks to fully subside. It's important to follow postoperative care instructions closely to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results​.
