“My surgery and recovery were seamless—everything really went well. I had my facelift done under local anesthesia, a cocktail of pills that made me sleepy plus numbing shots that I don’t even recall getting. I was initially worried that I’d feel tugging or pulling, but I never felt anything. I was awake and talking to the doctor for some of the surgery but definitely dozed off for the majority of the time. I remember the doctor telling me what he was doing. We chatted about Instagram and the two Real Housewives of New Jersey he had also performed facelifts on. I remember him telling me when I was almost done.
After the procedure, I was pretty alert. I had no real pain—just tenderness and some swelling and bruising in my neck and upper cheeks. The head wrap I had to wear was tight—that was probably the most annoying part. My husband says I slept a lot the remainder of the afternoon and the night after surgery. I took my pain medicine for the first two to three days, as a preventive measure.
I was able to be up on my own almost right away. I was careful and slow but didn’t require much assistance. I went out in public the day after surgery—I was swollen but overall felt good. By day three, I was socializing with my family. It was winter, so I wore a hat and was able to cover bruising—I really did not look bad—and I kept getting compliments on how supple my skin looked. I was puffy, but my skin looked really, really good.
Now, eight months out, I still have some numbness, but it’s getting better each day”

The recovery for grade 1/2 really not that bad. I will says it’s not nothing… a few days of discomfort and a month of no gym and wearing an annoying vest…”

“For someone with a low pain threshold, it hasn’t been bad. I was terrified going into theatre and the surgeon was very reassuring, “it won’t be bad, I usually do this as an add-on with bimax surgery.” I’m now day 3 post op. The pain has mostly been from the swelling, a throbbing sensation and some jaw aching. However, all completely manageable with NSAIDs, paracetamol and tapentadol as required. Tapentadol is a strong pain killer for mod-severe pain. I took it for the first two days but have cut down today. I can tell the swelling will take a long time to go down, it seems to be at its peak today.
It’s comforting to read other people’s stories. Even though everyone can be so different. I’m on day 5 post op. And my chin feels huge from the front and also makes my face look longer. I already had a long face. From the side profile, even though I’m swollen, I’m actually happy with it. It’s the front view is killing me..which I didn’t think I was going to have any issue with. I’m trying to be calm and trust the process. Numbers in my bottom lip and chin is insane. It’s so weird to take, eat, and smile! Which is also killing me. I also feel like I have a ball in my neck but it’s bigger on one side than the other and that concerns me a little.
I’m at about 3.5 months now. And it’s a major difference. My surgeon did tell me at my last follow up there is still some residual swelling and the chin will continue to “refine.” I’m still trying to be patient for final results but I’ve come a long way since that first week! The front view was what killed me too so you have to be very patient. Talking completely normal took a couple weeks but I remember my family telling me I sounded fine after 2 weeks. You’re just more aware of it. It’s crazy but even as swelling goes down you will start to adjust to your “new face” but it does take a while. I definitely had moments where I thought I made a mistake. But I’m happy now and I truly believe that by 6-9 months I’ll be even happier.”

- Initial recovery: Most patients experience redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a mild sunburn for a few days. For more intense ablative lasers, the skin may be raw, ooze, and form a crust, which should not be picked.
- Healing time: Healing depends on the laser intensity. For ablative lasers, it can take 10 to 21 days for the area to heal. For non-ablative lasers, downtime is minimal, often lasting only a day or two.

“However, you need to stay close to the clinic for at least a week while the stiches are healing, meaning you need to factor a long hotel stay into the price if you're traveling for the surgery. How well the scar heals will depend from person to person but should be presentable within 4-6 months”
