What is the recovery time for a complete facelift and is there a preferred age?
There are two stages of recovery. Two weeks for reliable social commitments (although many patients are very comfortable being out and about with in one week) and three to 6 months for more full settling and final result. With regard to when is the right time, I treat the face, not the clock. There are forty year-olds who could benefit and sixty year- olds who dont need a facelift. We are treating the high cheeks, smile creases, marionette lines, jowls, and neck; these are the areas that make the difference. The composite face and necklift addresses each of these areas in natural balance with the other.
