When I was young, my facial features were relatively good, and I heard a lot of praise from others. But after I reached the age of 45, I clearly felt older when I looked in the mirror. The apples of my skin had slumped down, and my nasolabial folds had become much darker. People around me sometimes make me feel bad when they accidentally mention aging. After thinking for a long time, I decided to undergo facelift surgery to save my appearance.
Facial sagging
Like most people, I still had many concerns before surgery. However, when I actually went through the surgery and recovery period, I discovered that there were many differences from what I had imagined. Now that it has been 75 days since my surgery, I am going to reveal the truth that only a few people who have been here know!
1. There will be no swelling immediately after facelift surgery.
Immediately after the operation, the face will be wrapped with thick gauze, and pressure patches will be used on the face, leaving almost two eyes exposed. After being pushed to the ward, I couldn't wait to look in the mirror with my phone. From the gap, I can see that the face is almost not swollen, which is far from the "pig head" I imagined.

2. There is no pain after the operation, just swelling
Is it true that no one believes the facelift surgery if it says it doesn’t hurt? But that's how I really feel. The surgery is under general anesthesia , and there will definitely be no feeling during the process. The main swelling after surgery makes people feel a little uncomfortable, but this feeling is indeed not painful. Starting from almost the 4th day, the facial swelling gradually subsided and the discomfort gradually subsided.
7 days
3. You can see people normally after the sutures are removed.
I had the sutures removed on 7 days. By this time, the facial swelling has basically subsided. The incision healed well and was within the hairline, so it was not visible at all. Although the facial expression is not particularly natural, it is completely fine to go out and meet people.
4, 15 days the incision marks are very light
Before the operation, I was worried about scars and hair loss. Now it seems that I have overthought it. It had only been half a month since the surgery, and the incision mark was already very faint. It was usually covered by my hair, and no one knew which incision I had the surgery from.

5, the condition is getting better and better in about 1 month
Although the face is not swollen before, the expression has not returned to natural, and the whole face looks tight. However, it has been 75 days since I recovered, and my facial condition has become very natural, giving me a natural sense of firmness and looking much younger!
