Whenever a regular facelift is done, the face must be peeled, and the peeling causes the sensory nerves in the face to dissociate, and after the surgery there is a dulling of the sensory response. Note that we are talking about sensory nerves here, not motor nerves. For example, if you do a side facelift, the surgery must be performed on the lower part of the expression muscle SMAS fascia layer and the skin layer, and the skin and fascia layer in the middle will be peeled away. After the sensory nerves are severed, the face will not be so sensitive to touch, just like touching through a layer of clothes, and there will be some numbness in the face. You can feel that you are being touched, but it is not as obvious as usual. After a facelift, the sensory nerves will slowly grow back into the skin and re-establish a sensory channel. Once you have fully recovered from the surgery, the sensation will be normal. During the postoperative recovery period, you can apply hot compresses locally and take some medications that nourish the nerves, all of which will promote the establishment of the nerves and blood vessels and facilitate their slow recovery. When applying hot compresses after surgery, be sure to pay attention to the temperature, never too hot. Try it on the back of your hand before applying it, and don’t put it on one part of the body without moving after applying it, so as to prevent low-temperature burns. If you leave it in one place for a long time, it will lead to new damage to the skin, plus the blood circulation is not good during the recovery period, so new damage can be said to add to the problem, which is not conducive to the recovery of the surgery, and even scarring. I hope that my video and article can help you have a deeper understanding of facelift surgery, not only to recognize the benefits of the surgery, but also to be clear about its risks.
