Facelift Series #9: Do's And Don't's

The timeline after a facelift matters just as much as the procedure itself. Dr. Bass and Dr. Kylie Edinger walk through what to expect at each phase of recovery and how the right habits can make all the difference. They explain how to manage swelling, protect your incisions, and ease back into normal activity, and share the small mistakes that can slow healing or lead to complications. Get practical guidance on everything from sleep positioning and skincare to exercise timelines and treatments that help support recovery. When you follow the right steps at the right time, you give your facelift the best chance to heal smoothly and deliver the result you're hoping for.
