‘Post-surgery, most patients can expect to experience some pain, bruising and
swelling, most of which will subside within a few weeks,’ Dr Milovic explains. ‘By
properly preparing the patient for recovery, we can help reduce the downtime and
optimise the final result.’
Most patients can usually return to everyday activities after between two and
three weeks. Though patients will be able to see an immediate difference following
facelift surgery, the final results may not be evident until several months after the
operation – once the swelling has completed settled.
While the modern approach to facelifting predominantly addresses volume
replacement and vectors of lift, the procedure also helps smooth deep lines and
folds. When patients approach me complaining that they are unhappy with the
way their face has aged, facelifting is almost always a good option to restore
more youthful facial contours and reduce the most noticeable signs of ageing,’ he
concludes. csbm
