Cosmetic Surgery Recovery - What To Expect After Plastic
Surgery
To ensure that you recover faster
after a facelift. Make sure you apply the following advice:
ExerciseTake a gentle walk around the park or around
the house. Doing this would not only increase your blood
circulation and improve your recovery time, it would take your
mind of other things in your life. Exercise is a great stress
reliever.
Avoid Blood Thinners or Anti-CoagulantsAlthough you
may suffer from headaches and nausea after surgery, avoid
taking blood thinners like Aspirin. Because your wounds are
still healing, internal bleeding may still occur. Taking these
medications will reduce the healing times and cause internal
bleeding.
WashingUse shampoo or cleansers that are recommended
by your surgeon or other health professionals. Some shampoo may
irritate your skin and increase swelling. Don’t use any
shampoo, use shampoo that is recommended by your surgeon.
Preferably use a mild shampoo to wash your hair and be cautious
around the sutures. If you follow these advice, it would take
approximately three to four months to fully recover. In
addition, the bruising, swelling and numbness will disappear
after two weeks.
