How Long Will It Take To
Recover From A Facelift?

A facelift involves a varying amount of swelling and bruising. Each patient heals differently and at a different pace. Within two weeks, the bruising has usually resolved to the point where it is possible to return to work and social situations. Final scar appearance takes a number of months. Make-up may be used during the healing phase to improve the appearance of scars or cover up early bruising.

The extensiveness of your facelift procedure will impact the healing time.
