Following a facelift, it is common to experience temporary swelling. Bleeding can also occur. This video explains how cosmetic surgery specialists help patients recover from their procedure.
Immediately following a facelift surgery, the patient’s scalp is covered in a bandage that wraps underneath the chin. This bandage relieves inflammation that may result following the procedure. 24 hours after surgery, this bandage is exchanged for another one that can be taken off for personal hygiene needs and mealtimes. Doctors stress that this bandage should be worn as much as possible in the week after the facelift. After seven days, the bandage can be worn only at night.
