. Though questions can be answered in a general fashion, specific questions often depend on the procedure undertaken and a persons' specific medical problems. Without a physician-patient consultation, specific questions can not be answered.

Is a facelift painful? While everyone's pain tolerances are different, a facelift is generally not painful. Most people will use some narcotic pain medication for one to two days after the surgery and then rely on less strong pain medication, or sometimes take a sleeping pill or stronger pain medication just before bed. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the recovery period after a facelift is.

Will I need someone to stay with me? The need for assistance again will depend on the type of procedure performed.

Most patients, even with a more extensive facelift procedure, will be able to take care of themselves with in 2-3 days. While everyone recovers differently, if you can have assistance of some type for about a week, it is a good idea.

What are the risks of a facelift surgery? The risks of facelift surgery will depend on the technique used for the facelift and a person's medical conditions. In general, there is a risk of bruising, swelling, numbness of the operated area, abnormal scarring, and damage to the nerve that provides the motion to the face. Depending on other medical conditions and the exact technique used, there may be other risks as well.
