All About Facelifts (Post-Op Part 5): Do's & Don'ts After 1 Week Post-Op
About this episode
Considering a facelift or facial rejuvenation procedure but not feeling informed enough? In this 9-part series, Board Certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Thomas Buonassisi of Vancouver, Canada discusses everything you need to know about facelifts—from facial anatomy basics, to the post-op recovery process, to a discussion of the unprecedented deep plane facelift technique that he performs regularly alongside less than 5% of other surgeons.
In this bonus episode captured during a post-op appointment from patient Linda's facelift surgery experience, Dr. Buonassisi discusses things in her 1-week staple removal appointment that are acceptable and not acceptable to do in the rest of the post-op period once the staples are removed. He goes over:
→ What kinds of products can be applied to the face after a facelift and when?
→ When can hair colour be applied after a facelift?
→ What kinds of activities can be done during healing from a facelift?
→ Is it safe to fly on a plane while healing after a facelift?
→ When is it safe to go swimming or to go to the gym after a facelift?
