Recovery

Immediately following thread-lift face-lift surgery, your face may be swollen and bruised. This should resolve after a few days. There may also be some numbness, and you may experience some pain, which can be controlled with pain medication. Your thread-lift surgeon may advise you to rest and sleep during your thread-lift surgery recovery time with your head elevated to reduce any swelling.

You will need someone to drive you home after your thread-lift surgery, and to help you out for about 24 hours. You should eat only soft foods for seven days.

Normal activities may be resumed three to seven days after the thread-lift face-lift procedure, and depending on the type of work you do, you should be able to return during this time. Bruising can be covered up with make up after seven days. Avoid rubbing or contorting your face for three weeks after thread-lift surgery.
