The movement of the face relies on the motor nerve, while pain, hot and coldness rely on the sensory nerve, which is the trigeminal nerve in our face. After the trigeminal nerve emanates from the loose body, it divides into many branches and finally travels from deep in the tissue and penetrates through the skin. During a facelift, the sensory nerves must be stripped off. After the surgery, the sensory nerve will slowly recover and grow again, but its recovery process is slow, generally 3 to 6 months of recovery period, the real full recovery even need a year to more than a year and a half time, many friends said that after the facelift, the skin feel like a layer of clothing, that is the reason. After surgery, cold compresses and hot compresses can speed up the recovery of the nerves, but it should be noted that: the skin is sluggish after surgery, if the temperature control is not good, it may aggravate the swelling, and even some seekers think that the hotter the skin recovery is faster, which is certainly not true. As for the temperature control of the hot compress, you can put the wet towel on the back of your hand to try it out, and then put it on your face, because the sensory nerves on your face are sluggish and cannot be put directly on your face. Here is another tip, many seekers to my reaction hot towel cooled too quickly, a hot compress will be changed to ice, you can try to use the bag of milk, put it into the hot water to scald, and then the hot compress is more appropriate, and so it cooled no effect, 20 to 30 minutes will also be over, this is a very good way. In addition, in this aspect of nerve recovery, you can take some vitamin B or methylcobalamin tablets, methylcobalamin capsules and so on to promote nerve regeneration, generally eat for a month, and then stop for a month to help the nerve recovery. Of course I these methods, are only applicable to the candidates who operated in my place, each doctor’s surgeon will be slightly different, the way of post-operative care will also be changed, it is recommended that you should consult your own doctor, subject to your own doctor’s statement.
