Post-Facelift Care Tips

Facelift surgery aims to address visible signs of ageing. For those who have recently had a facelift, here are some tips to support your post-surgery care. It is important to note that  consulting with a qualified healthcare provider can provide the most personalised advice.

Follow post-operative instructions

Adhering to your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions is crucial for supporting your recovery. By following the recommended after-care routine, you can optimise healing and promote the best possible outcome. However, individual results may vary, and consulting with your healthcare provider is important for personalised guidance.

Protect your skin from sun damage

Protecting your skin from the sun is essential for supporting your facelift results, as excessive sun exposure can accelerate visible signs of ageing.. That’s why you need to wear sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher every day and avoid direct sun exposure, especially between 10 am to 3 pm, as it is when the UV rays are most damaging. Consulting with your healthcare provider for further skin protection advice tailored to your needs is always beneficial.

Live a healthy lifestyle

Adopting a healthy lifestyle can support your facelift results and improve overall well-being. Making healthier choices, such as quitting smoking, maintaining a balanced diet, and engaging in regular exercise, may reduce the risk of various health conditions. For personalised advice on lifestyle changes, it’s recommended to consult with your healthcare provider.

Consider skincare treatments

Skin ageing is a natural and ongoing process, and while it cannot be halted, non-surgical skincare treatments may support skin health. These treatments can help address skin ageing related concerns. For guidance on suitable options, it’s recommended to consult with a qualified healthcare professional.
