Facelift Recovery and Results
A facelift is performed on an outpatient basis using general anesthesia. Most patients are back to work and regular activities within 7-12 days after their surgery. Results will be evident right away, but will continue to improve as the face heals completely from the procedure.
A facelift continues to be the go-to procedure for patients that want to significantly reverse the signs of aging. To learn more about this surgery, contact Robinson Facial Plastic Surgery at 770-667-3090.
