The stitches are removed from the face after one week and from behind the ears between the 10th to the 14th day. An anti bruising cream is always given as well as another one to be applied to the healing wounds that contains an antibiotic and forms a waxy cover over wounds so no further dressings are needed.
After day 3 to 5, the patient can wash his or her hair gently and the hair can be combed in order to hide the stitches until they are ready to be removed.
Usually I prescribe pain killers in the line of cocodamol (no aspirin, please, as it can increase the risk of bruising). They are more than enough as there is normally no pain but a feeling of tightness that gradually goes away on the following days.
Many times the ears become partially numb for a short period of time and this is because the incision goes around nearly 80% of its length and it takes some time for the nerve cells to regenerate, but they always do.
One final aspect needs to be explained: a face lift is not a beauty procedure, it is an anti ageing one meaning that is what I usually like to call a “trip back in time” that restores the patient to wherever he or she was some 15 to 20 years before. Previous good looking patients may see their beauty
restored but that is all as it depends on the bone structure; prominent cheeks and chin define the “triangle of beauty” when present, but in all cases the patient ends up looking as he or she did some years ago and the result is meant to remain stable for a good 15 to 20 years more.
I am going to post my email address for any more questions and answers but once again I would like to insist that the informative visit is totally free and that it is advisable as then I can better evaluate each case.
