How long does it take to recover after face-lifting, and how to care after operation?
Recover after about four months.

Face lift is to tighten the loose skin upwards and then remove the unnecessary skin. In the whole surgical treatment process, the trauma is large and necessary complications will occur. After surgical treatment, we must pay attention to the relative key points to ensure the actual effect of surgical treatment.

Hemorrhage and abscess are very easy to occur after face lift surgery. Generally, within 24 hours after operation, some patients will have obvious pain, swelling and ecchymosis. After face lift surgery, some groups will have superficial skin atrophy with a small total area, which must be treated again. The other can also cause damage to fitness or sensory nerves. When sensory nerves are damaged, hair and skin will feel sluggish and swollen, which usually subsides after four months. When the motor nerve is damaged, it is damaged, which will cause facial paralysis. When doing face lift surgery, if the instruments often used in the whole operation process are not disinfected thoroughly or the surgical wound care is not good, it is very easy to have feelings and inflammation.

How to nurse after face-lifting surgery?

1, charging and bundling

After face rhytidectomy, according to the position and type of the patient's surgical treatment, effective pressure is applied to this part, and it is bound with sterilized emery cloth, cotton pad and gauze, which can reduce abscess and edema. After the operation, the medicine should be removed regularly to keep the wound clean and dry. There should be no excessively colorful facial expressions before the wound is completely surgically removed, otherwise it will stab the wound and may lead to bleeding. In order to reduce the physical exercise of facial muscles, liquid or semi-liquid ingredients should be selected within 3 days after operation.

2. Lie down and sleep.

After surgical treatment, we should take a supine position to reduce the pressure on the wound and avoid abscess and pain. Choose a quiet and tidy living room and use analgesic drugs effectively under the specific guidance of a doctor. Avoid sticking water to the wound after operation, and don't wash your face before removing stitches. Only use cotton balls to gently scrub, wash your hair or take a bath, and don't let dirty water enter the wound to avoid strange feelings.

Warm reminder: within 24~48 hours after operation, the upper and lower eyelids will be severely swollen, and even the upper eyelid cannot be completely closed. Antibiotic eye drops can be effectively applied under the specific guidance of a doctor, and generally dissipate in 5 days, which is not necessarily the only solution. If you don't feel anything, you can see a doctor to remove the stitches in 8 days, but not 1 week after the stitches are removed. Do not eat spicy food and its ingredients for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis during the period.
