Maintaining Anti-Aging Benefits
Jeuveau
While a facelift targets sagging tissue, Jeuveau can smooth fine lines and wrinkles caused by muscle movement. It’s beneficial for treating forehead lines and other signs of aging around the eyes and brows.
Dermal Fillers
Our facial surgery lifts and tightens, but many patients benefit from volume restoration in the cheeks, lips, or under the eyes. Dermal fillers can be used post-surgery to fine-tune facial contours and restore youthful fullness.
IPL Therapy
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy helps treat age spots, discoloration, and redness, thereby improving the clarity and overall tone of your skin. It’s an excellent option for evening out pigmentation after facelift recovery.
HydraFacial
This deep-cleansing, hydrating treatment nourishes the entire face, helping you maintain a radiant glow. It’s ideal for regular maintenance post-surgery and safe for all skin types.
Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, refining skin texture and softening fine lines. It can also be used to enhance scar healing and skin tone after facelift recovery.
Morpheus8
Combining microneedling with radiofrequency, Morpheus8 penetrates deeply to remodel skin and tissue. It’s a powerful option for tightening and lifting areas that need additional refinement.
Fractora
Fractora is another advanced radiofrequency treatment that helps smooth wrinkles, reduce texture irregularities, and stimulate collagen production—perfect for enhancing the results of a facelift.
Facial Peels
Chemical peels can refresh dull skin, lighten pigmentation, and refine the appearance of pores. We customize peels to suit your skin type and stage of recovery, helping you maintain and enhance your surgical results safely.
Professional Grade Skincare
Antioxidants such as Vitamin C and Green Tea are powerful sources of topical nutrition and protection for your skin. Vitamins A and E aid in cell rejuvenation. The FDA limits the amount of these necessary ingredients in over-the-counter products thus limiting skin penetration and results. Only a pharmaceutical grade product can provide the amount necessary to protect and stimulate skin cells. Professional products available at Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology are the result of years of research and are manufactured in the United States. These factors allow us to offer you the most advanced anti-aging ingredients at the correct dose to allow your skin to repair and renew at the cellular level.
Nutrition Guidance
Healing and skin health start from within. Our nutrition support helps ensure your body receives the right nutrients for recovery and lasting skin vitality, helping you look and feel your best.
Your Post-Facelift Consultation
Preparation for facelift aftercare begins well before the surgical procedure itself. During the initial consultation, our surgeon evaluates the patient’s facial anatomy, medical history, and other factors, including blood pressure, to create a tailored plan that supports a smooth healing process. Clear instructions are provided to optimize the recovery period, including guidance on medications, skin care, and treatments that help reduce swelling. A well-structured aftercare strategy is essential not only for comfort but also to achieve natural results following facial plastic surgery.
Facelift Recovery Tips
Recovering from a facelift procedure requires careful attention to several key factors to ensure optimal results and a smooth healing process. Following post-operative instructions closely helps minimize complications and supports comfort during the first few weeks after surgery.
- Rest fully after surgery, especially because general anesthesia can leave patients feeling tired.
- Take prescribed pain medication as directed to manage discomfort effectively.
- Keep the head elevated to reduce swelling and promote proper circulation.
- Patients tend to experience some bruising and swelling during the first few weeks—this is normal.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and lifting heavy objects until cleared by your surgeon.
- Follow all post-operative instructions carefully to prevent infection and other complications.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor progress and address any concerns.
- Gradually resume normal activities as healing allows, based on your surgeon’s advice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does facelift healing usually take?
Healing times can vary, but generally, facelift patients can expect the initial recovery from the surgical procedure to take approximately two to three weeks. Swelling and bruising typically improve significantly during this period, although complete healing may continue for several months.
Can your aftercare procedures reduce facelift recovery time by at least a week?
Yes, our specialized aftercare treatments are designed to support the recovery process after cosmetic surgery. Many patients experience faster healing and reduced swelling, which can shorten the overall recovery time by a week or even more.
What are the most crucial recovery tips for the first week of healing?
During the first few hours and days after surgery, patients should rest properly and avoid rushing the healing process. Allowing sufficient time for rest and strictly following physical activity restrictions is essential. Avoiding strenuous activity helps prevent complications and supports optimal recovery.
What is the difference between a regular facelift surgery and a deep plane facelift?
A deep plane facelift is considered a more invasive procedure compared to a regular facelift. It involves lifting deeper layers of tissue beneath the skin, which can provide longer-lasting and more natural-looking results, but typically requires a longer recovery period.
