What You NEED To Do After Your Facelift Surgery!

[@ketovoreandthe6166]

I sure wish I had seen this three weeks ago. I’m on week 4 and swelling behind my ears and hardness is awful!!! Going to sleep flat tonight!!

[@louferguson7048]

I have that now at week 2. Very uncomfortable when not wearing compression. What worked for you? Did it get better?

[@marialopes7067]

Wow glad I saw the video my procedure is Monday Jan 15, 2024

[@salvadorhpo2030]

How are you doing?

[@a.alexandrajimenez8437]

Thank you!! Great info I hate the head wrap it does irritate the surgery. 🥳🙏🙏🙏

[@robynhewett2813]

Thankyou very much for your expertise Doctor. The information makes a lot of sense. I think if a Patient asks about anything that they may be worried about before Surgery, all to the better. Many thanks once again. Regards Robyn.

What are your thoughts on Red light therapy? and PEMF Mats? Thanks

[@AuntTDoes...]

Thank you! Tonight I lay on my back and get the good rest I deserve.

[@TheShmoo123]

Thanks, I’m a month out and sleeping, sitting up and my neck is really tight in the mornings. I’ll give sleeping on my back a try for the next few days, thanks again👍🏽

My surgeon told me to wear a head wrap every night and during the day when I can for a year after surgery!!

[@dammar117]

To me, it makes sense. Keep the tissues in place so they heal in place. My surgeon didn't tell me to do this, but I'm doing it anyway.

[@khonthainaidc]

A year 😮

[@johnygthing]

Does it leave visible scaring if so where are the area and does the scaring effect hair growth ,,

[@khonthainaidc]

Before after surgery can I take motion sickness pill and allergy relief pill?

[@khonthainaidc]

How fast can I resume to exercise like swimming or weightlifting (8-10 lb dumbbell)

[@KETO_DIET]

Does the Hyperbaric Chamber facilitate better final wound healing outcome or just speed up the healing process?

[@rbalikian]

It can definitely do both. The greater benefit though is in the immediate healing process. But for some it will improve the health of the tissues that leads to a better long term result.

[@cartierwhite_lasvegas]

Same thing my doctor believe in , it's working for me so far

[@sweetcorn71]

When you lie down flat, do you not use a pillow at all? can you use like a memory foam or just lie flat without a pillow? please explain

[@rbalikian]

The most important concept is to keep your neck extended. You can lie flat or you can use 1 pillow to keep your head slightly elevated. Oftentimes our patients like putting a neck roll pillow behind the neck to keep their chin elevated and the neck extended. It is important to be comfortable, so find a position that works for you to keep your neck extended.

[@susykings3343]

But they say it will make you more swallow the next day if you lie flat, this is the first video, and doctor I see that advice otherwise

[@KChapman6079]

My doctor has advised sleeping upright with a neck pillow. I guess the most important thing is to keep the neck extended?🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Spiceydame]

I have my surgery scheduled in October 2024, but I have a second consult with the doctor because I have concerns so I'm definitely going to ask him about the laying down flat or up. I've already got treatments for the hyperbaric chamber I was going to do one hyperbaric chamber before and then four after but now that you've said two before, I will do the two since the center said that I would need five so you're right on that.

Notice most face lift surgeons - have NOT had a face lift! Just saying...

[@Nonya-sy5ey]

I believe wearing the head garment for compression at least the first 2 weeks helps with not getting a blood clot and it helps with circulation and keeps the swelling down a great deal also the sleep sleeping elevated is useful in the healing process but as usual each Dr has their own way of doing things,.. I suggest Just ask your particular Dr not another patient Dr. happy health and healing to all ❤️‍🩹
