Face Lift

1. How long is the Face Lift procedure?

Surgical facelift varies depending on the specific needs of the patient and surgery. Mini lifts or direct neck lifts are quick, while traditional full-face lifts may take a few hours of precision surgery.

2. What is recovery like after Face Lift?

Downtime may be a few hours to several days, depending on the specific procedure and areas treated.

3. Will smoking affect my recovery after Face Lift?

Smoking adversely affects your recovery. One may develop pneumonia, and treated areas don’t heal as well or may become infected. The blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to the tissues shrink up and prevent the necessary healing of the area. Patients must stop smoking for a minimum of two weeks prior to surgery to decrease the risk of these complications, and continue smoking cessation after the procedure.

4. What health conditions threaten a successful recovery after Face Lift?

Dr. Viral Desai checks the complete history and does a thorough physical examination of all patients prior to undergoing cosmetic treatments. A facelift can be safely performed on many chronic medical conditions wherein the patient is stable. However, facelift surgery may be delayed or canceled as needed for patient safety. Dr. Viral Desai will work with you to identify a safe, appropriate plastic surgery option.

5. Will I need time off work after Face Lift?

Most patients take at least two weeks off from work. A longer period of recovery may be necessary for combined procedures.

6. When can I resume regular exercise after Face Lift?

Strenuous activities or exercise after plastic surgery will increase the risk of bleeding, swelling, and bruising until an appropriate healing time has been allowed. This restriction during the recovery period varies based on the operation performed and the patient’s medical condition. Light activities, such as slow walking, may be performed soon after anesthesia. Heavy activities, such as aerobics, yoga, cycling, running, heavy lifting, or similar vigorous activities are allowed after 2 weeks from the procedure. Contact sports are generally allowed after 6 weeks from surgery.

7. Can I combine Face Lift with other facial plastic surgery?

Yes, it’s generally preferred to combine procedures. First, by combining surgery, insurance may cover a portion of the procedure, and you may save money on fees. Secondly, tissue modified from one area may be used for another surgical area, such as fat transfer and face lifting. Lastly, the recovery process following surgery would only be once, and you minimize downtime by avoiding two separate procedures. Commonly combined procedures with lip enhancement include the following:
• Lip enhancement
• Brow Lift
• Botox
• Peels
• Fat Transfer
