Good results after a facelift, but no results after a week or two?

If you feel good about your results right after a facelift, that often means that the procedure will not be very effective. As I’ve talked about in previous videos, a facelift should always be done with early overkill. That is, you have to do proper tightening during the surgery, such as a staggered lift in the eye to suspend the eye, so that the results will be good after the recovery period. We need to inject a swelling solution during the facelift to facilitate our peeling. After the peel is complete, the localized tissue actually contains water. After a facelift, the eyes will look very hung over due to the swelling factor. Wait for the swelling to subside before returning to a normal state. The face is usually very swollen for the first week after surgery. In about a month, the swelling can be reduced by about 70%, and it may take about six months to return to full normalcy. Also for the problem of hanging eyes, we medically call it a misplaced lift. It is not possible to lift the eyes vertically in facelift surgery, and during the operation when doing fascial lifting, it is possible to lift them in the outer-superior direction, but then remove the excess skin and fix it well. For the postoperative effect, after the swelling subsides, there is still the process of scar balance and repair, it is appropriate to observe about 3 months after the operation, and its best effect is usually about half a year after the operation, so I hope you can wait patiently. In the early postoperative period, the temporal area may have some folds or even some unevenness, which will be slowly recovered with the prolongation of time. If the patient asks the doctor to make it more natural before the operation, the doctor may be more restrained in the operation, and then the patient mistakes the effect of the recovery period as the final effect, which causes some misunderstanding to the doctor. I think that as long as the real facelift surgery, the effect will certainly be improved than your previous state, as a candidate needs to understand the recovery process, “want to become beautiful first ghost” to be prepared, when through the recovery period, I believe that everything will have a bitter sweet. If you have any questions or feel that you are not recovering well, it is recommended that you see your surgeon for a timely review, solve problems as soon as possible, and wait patiently for recovery if there are no problems, so we hope that you can achieve satisfactory results.
