😣 What Kind of Pain Can You Expect After a Facelift?
Facelift surgery can deliver transformative, rejuvenating results — but it’s also a surgical procedure, and with it comes a healing journey. Let’s break down the common types of pain or discomfort you might experience after a facelift, so you can feel more prepared and confident going into it. 💪✨
🩹 1. Pain and Discomfort
Mild to moderate pain around incision sites is common in the first few days. This is typically well-managed with prescription medication provided by your surgeon.
💜 2. Swelling & Bruising
You may experience swelling and bruising in the face and neck — especially around the jawline and eyes. Cold compresses and rest can make a big difference. 🧊
⚡ 3. Numbness & Tingling
Temporary numbness or “pins and needles” sensations can occur due to minor nerve irritation. This usually resolves within a few weeks.
🔄 4. Tightness & Pulling
Many patients report a sensation of tightness or tugging, especially when smiling or turning the head. This feeling fades as the skin adjusts and heals. 🧘♀️
🤕 5. Headaches
A small number of patients may experience mild tension headaches, often related to post-op swelling or muscle tension in the neck.
🐜 6. Itching
As your incisions heal, itching is a normal — if annoying — part of the process. Avoid scratching to protect your results.
✂️ 7. Scarring Sensitivity
While facelift incisions are placed discreetly, you may feel some tenderness or irritation around the scars as they heal.
