The Condition of a Mini Face Lift Bruising Following the Procedure


If you wish to have a swift recuperation period after getting a cosmetic surgery, then consider having a mini face lift for it is a type of short scar procedure that normally have a short period of healing. Most patients can even start doing their not so physical tasks merely days after having the surgery and can also go home 24 hours following the surgery, provided he/she is taken care of by a dependable individual. There will be swelling and bruising of the face a day after the procedure is administered so it’s not advisable to go out. For those who find it necessary to go to work after their surgery, it’s OK to do so and you can hide the bruising by letting your hair down in front of your face.

The process and recovery from a short scar facelift is more tolerable than that of the regular facelift procedure. For instance, the puffiness and bruising are only usual yet can be decreased significantly once you put ice pack and apply Arnica on your face a week before undergoing the mini face lift operation. Mild infections could happen but they are simply treated with the use of antibiotics.

Initially, there will be skin constriction but this will gradually smooth out the skin after the start of the constriction 2 weeks following the mini face lift surgery. Once this happens, the incision will then mend and the sutures will be removed by your plastic surgeon. For a couple of years, the skin lifting effect will be visible.

In a matter of two to three weeks, majority of the skin bruising and soreness that takes place after the procedure will start to fade or disappear. You have to keep in mind though that your recuperation speed and pain tolerance will not be similar to other people who have gotten this cosmetic procedure.  This is because every outcome, experience and healing process of all mini face lift patients will vary from person to person.
