Facelift at TWT Health

Facelifts are commonly sought by individuals in their 40s to 60s, although successful procedures can be performed on those in their 70s or 80s. The goal is not to create an obvious transformation but to impart a younger, healthier, lively, and cheerful appearance.

Choosing a facelift is an empowering decision, allowing individuals to harmonize their external appearance with their inner vitality. At TWT Health Tourism, we prioritize personalized care, guiding you through the transformative journey towards rediscovering your youthful radiance.

●      In your hairline at your temples.

●     Around your ears.

●     At your lower scalp.

●     Under your chin.

●      Dissolvable stitches.

●     Stitches that require removal after a few days.

Possible Complications of Facelift:

While facelifts are generally safe, complications can occur. Risks include anesthesia issues, infection, wound healing problems, hematoma, changes in skin sensation,facial nerve injury, temporary or permanent hair loss, scarring, and prolonged swelling. Important considerations include the temporary nature of results, inability to change fundamental appearance, and the importance of selecting aboard-certified surgeon.

What to expect after the Facelift?

Facelift recovery generally involves swelling, bruising, and discomfort for several weeks. Stitches are usually removed after 7-10 days. Full results become evident within 3-6 months as swelling subsides. Facelifts offer significant improvements in facial contours, reducing wrinkles, tightening skin, and restoring a youthful appearance.

1. Quick Recovery:

●      Patients typically resume normal daily activities within about 2 weeks, with strenuous exercise postponed for approximately 4weeks after a standard facelift. Mini facelifts often have even shorter recovery periods.

●     Each patient's healing process is unique, and your cosmetic surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific needs.

2. Post-Surgery Concerns:

●      Bruising and Swelling:

●      Bruising and swelling peak around 2 days after surgery but gradually subside. After 10 to 14 days, they should be significantly reduced.

●     Many patients feel comfortable going out in public within a week or so after the procedure, and camouflage makeup can be used to conceal any residual discoloration.

3. Protecting Your Face:

●      Sun Protection:

●      As you ease back into your routine, it's crucial to shield your face from the sun. Sunburn vulnerability lasts for several weeks post-surgery.

●     Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and applying sunscreen regularly is essential for optimal scar healing and protection.

4. Sensations and Activities:

●      Numbness and Sensitivity:

●      Some numbness in the cheeks and ears is normal and typically improves in a few weeks or months. Long-term sensitivity loss may occur infront of the ears.

●     Keeping your head elevated, especially during sleep, helps reduce swelling.

●      Post-Surgery Activities:

●      Light activities are encouraged after two weeks, while strenuous activities, saunas, and massages should be avoided for at least two weeks.

●     Puffiness and stiffness are common initially, but these effects subside over time.

5. Scar Management and Appearance:

●      Camouflage Makeup:

●      Camouflage makeup can be used to cover bruising during the recovery period.

●  Scars, typically well-hidden in the hairline, may require shorter hair around the wound. Men may find it slightly more challenging to conceal scars due to beard growth adjustments.

●      Hair Growth and Scarring:

●      There might be a slight reduction in hair growth inthe temples, but this is usually not problematic unless the hair is very thin and multiple facelifts are performed.

●     Scars in the hairline are discreet, and the hair will have been cut shorter immediately around the wound.

6. Post-Surgery Precautions:

●      Avoid Heavy Lifting and Bending:

●      Heavy lifting is discouraged for several weeks, and bending down or engaging in vigorous activities should be approached gently.

●     For at least two weeks, avoid sex and take precautions during daily activities.

●      Driving Considerations:

●     Resume driving when you feel safe and comfortable wearing a seatbelt. Verify with your insurance documents if needed.
