When will the swelling after a facelift?

After a facelift, we expect to see immediate results, but it happens that postoperative swelling of the face does not disappear for two months. An experienced plastic surgeon told about the peculiarities of recovery after surgery.

"Postoperative swelling of the face   perfectly normal for patients who have passed through the   facelift - Says a plastic surgeon from the United States with a 15-year practice Dr. Anita Mandal. - When he has to go? All individually. The process may be delayed for some risk factors, such as age, smoking, or specific medical problems. Lymph nodes in your body may be blocked, causing prolonged swelling. In patients with overweight or thick skin swelling are more intense.

You can take some preventive measures. For example, to get the packaging of ice to cool the face after surgery or to establish a mattress on the bed so as to provide the inclination of the head to the legs. I recommend that you avoid heavy physical exertion, because of which you are sweating heavily. Lymphatic massage can also be very effective in reducing swelling. Use it before and after the operation.

I myself developed a complete alternative to traditional facelift Who called Whisper Lift. After it there is much less face edema . During the procedure, I do not prune your facial muscles and pull them. With my method reduces the risk of damage to the facial nerve, and the process of post-operative recovery is faster. Furthermore, Whisper Lift performed under local anesthesia, therefore, has fewer side effects. "
