10 secrets to a great facelift recovery
1. Follow all of your surgeon's post-operative instructions to the letter. This will minimize your risk of complications and help ensure a smooth, speedy recovery.
2. Get plenty of rest and sleep in an upright position for the first few nights after surgery, as this will help reduce swelling.
3. Keep your head elevated at all times, even when you're sleeping, to help reduce swelling.
4. Apply ice packs to your face for 20 minutes at a time, several times a day, for the first few days after surgery.
5. Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for at least two weeks after surgery.
6. Take all of your prescribed medications as directed.
7. Attend all of your follow-up appointments with your surgeon.
8. Be sure to wear sunscreen and protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays.
9. Avoid smoking, as it can contribute to poor healing and increased risk of complications.
10. Be patient! It can take several weeks for all of the swelling to subside and for you to see your final results.
