Facelift

The patient may experience swelling, pain, bruising and fatigue for one week after facelift surgery. To alleviate these complications, your doctor may prescribe some medications like painkillers and antibiotics. Using painkillers along with complementary foods reduces vomiting and nausea caused by taking painkillers. The sutures are removed after 2 weeks. The patient should refrain from smoking and should not be exposed to sunlight. Alcohol consumption should also be restricted. The patient can return to normal life after two weeks. The facelift final results appear after 9 months. After you wake up from anesthesia, you will see a large, soft bandage around your head or so-called balls or drain. After surgery, the nurses will help you do the following: Drinking fluids, walking properly, eliminating discomfort, and monitoring drain. You will be asked to re-visit the clinic the next day to open the drain. Although the drainage pains are not many, it is a good idea to use a reliever one hour before the drain is removed. The drain switch is very easy. After removing the drain, flexible tape is placed, and we advise you again to care for the stitches and clean them with cotton moistened with hydrogen peroxide. Grease the stitches with the ointment until they improve quickly. The stitches that soften because of the ointment are easy to remove and will not make you feel any pain. Keep the flexible tape in place so that the process can improve quickly. You also need to see the clinic within 4-5 days to open the stitches.
