Beverly Hills Facelift - Face lift Photos with Dr. Vishal Kapoor

After the surgery is complete, a bandage may be loosely applied to the head and a drainage tube may be placed under the skin behind the ear. The drainage tube will be removed within one to two days after surgery, and the bandage within one to five days. The face is likely to appear pale, bruised and puffy at first, and the skin may feel tender and numb. The numbness should fade within several weeks to months, while the bruising should subside within about two to three weeks. Keeping the head elevated as much as possible during the first few days after surgery will help to alleviate the swelling. Patients may experience minor discomfort which can be controlled with prescribed pain medication. Patients should plan on taking it easy for the first week.
