Recovering from Facelift Surgery
Recovering From Denver, Colorado Mini Facelift Surgery
Denver metropolitan area patients undergoing a facelift procedure at the Center for Cosmetic Surgery will be given important steps to follow after their facelift to ensure the most comfortable, speedy and successful recovery.
After your facelift, you may recover in your own home or in a specialized aftercare facility with nursing care. Our patients generally experience only minimal discomfort and are usually off of pain medication just a few days after their procedure.
You will wear a light bandage around your head to protect the incisions. Any mild bruising and swelling usually peaks at three to five days after your facelift before gradually subsiding over the two weeks that follow.
Work activities that do not require significant physical exertion are permissible after one to two weeks. You must avoid lifting, bending over and all strenuous activities for a couple of weeks. At three weeks, low-impact exercise is permissible, followed by unrestricted activity after six weeks.
Dr. Wolfe or Dr. Vath will discuss your recovery instructions in detail during your consultation, including any steps that are unique to your specific circumstances. Don't hesitate to ask them about all of your questions and concerns. Following postoperative guidelines carefully can make your facelift a rewarding experience with gratifying results.
The Center for Cosmetic Surgery has two offices conveniently located in the Denver metropolitan area. One is located just outside of Denver in lovely Golden, Colorado immediately off of I-70 and the other is located downtown in Cherry Creek, Denver.
