Everything You Need to Know About Facelifts - Part 2 - Beauty and the Surgeon Episode 156

[@ritafong8587]

Very useful information. I listened a few times to prepare my surgery. Thanks again!

[@jasminemariedarling]

I'm 10 days out after my face and neck lift. I'm young, 42. I went to a great, reputable surgeon. I'm worried because one side of my face is really high, has lumpy looking cheekbone area and a large horizontal line on that same upper cheek. He said the line was from where the drain sat and would disappear but it's still there. Very odd. Do u have any idea why an indent like that would be there? And are asymmetries and lumps normal parts of swelling at day 10? 😢

[@JasonMartinMD]

Hi Jasmine Marie, congratulations on your recent surgery! Yes, it is quite common to have irregularities in swelling 10 days postop. Swelling is rarely symmetrical from side to side and can even change from day to day as you recover. Your surgeon may recommend some gentle massage to help decrease swelling, especially in the drain areas. Happy healing!

What about someone with alopecia? Obviously the scars will show, just like to know have you done surgery on anyone with alopecia and what was the outcome?

[@lorrainecoughlan]

What food and fluids should be avoided before surgery? heard Ginger is one of them. And heard eating pineapple and taking aminca for brushing and swelling. Is beneficial, also taking bromeline supplements. What are your recommendations?

[@JasonMartinMD]

thank you for watching and for the great questions! We will be answering all three on our upcoming Q&A episode!

[@jessicagraham4872]

I've learned so much from you guys

[@esthersukiedietzel4951]

Thank you for this informative episode! I have now listened to almost all episodes and am excited about the interesting content. I still have a question about the SMAS face and neck lift: can this procedure be combined with a nosejob or would this operation then be too long or too extensive? So also regarding the healing process?

[@JasonMartinMD]

Hi Esther, thank you for watching! Yes, we often combine a face and neck lift with a rhinoplasty or other facial surgery, eyes, brow, etc. Combining surgeries allows you to combine your downtime and recovery as well! Adding a rhinoplasty will likely increase your post-operative bruising and swelling, this will quickly resolve in the first 1-2 weeks post op.

Like always, great information! 🙏 -How long does the face stay swollen after a facelift?

[@JasonMartinMD]

Hi Alexandra, thank you for watching! Most patients will have notable swelling for 3-4 weeks postop. There will be some mild swelling for longer but this is typically not noticeable and localized to the mid-face.

@@JasonMartinMD Thank you very much for the information Dr. Martin! 🥳🥳

I'm 6 months out and still have swelling and my neck is puffy and still not tight. I've been on forums where other patients have had this and alot of other complications. Not one of our surgeons warned us recovery can take so long! I was not prepared and I am still hoping I will get the results I want. I here it can take up to a year! I had a lower face and neck lift. Pain was fine by the way. But now I'm worrying about the final results.

Would you recommend a board certified plastic surgeon in the Phoenix AZ area that has experience with a facelift procedure?

So where can I find the results of your work? Because you talk the talk, but I have yet to see any of your patience on your platforms.

[@JasonMartinMD]

Hi Galina, thanks for watching! You can find many before and after pics and videos on website and social media. www.jasonmartinmd.com @jasonmartinmd on Instagram

[@acripe9875]

Whats the difference between AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PLASTIC SURGEONS and AMERICAN BOARD OF FACIAL PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY?

[@JasonMartinMD]

Hi A Cripe, thanks for watching! The American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is for surgeons who perform surgery on the face and neck only. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons is for surgeons who perform surgery on the entire body. Great question!

[@sondina.]

This is important content but the flippant presentation and insider jabs at patients is annoying

[@JasonMartinMD]

Hi Sondina, so sorry we came across that way! We deeply appreciate all of our patients and try to make our episodes fun and educational. Thank you for watching!
