Yes, your face should eventually feel normal after a facelift, although it may take several weeks or even months for the sensation to fully return to normal. Immediately after surgery, the face may feel numb or tingly due to nerve damage caused by the surgery. This is a normal part of the healing process, and sensation should gradually return over time.
The extent and duration of numbness and tingling can vary depending on the extent of the surgery, the individual's anatomy, and other factors such as age and overall health. In some cases, it may take several months for the face to feel completely normal again.
It is important to note that some patients may experience permanent numbness or changes in sensation after a facelift, particularly around the incision sites. However, these changes are generally minor and do not affect overall facial function or appearance.
If you are considering a facelift, it is important to discuss potential changes in sensation with your surgeon and to follow all post-operative instructions carefully to promote healing and minimize the risk of complications.
