The operation is done under general (inhalation) anaesthesia, so there is no pain. Discomfort and tightness may be felt in the first few days and are relieved with medication prescribed by the doctor.

The first clear changes show after 3–4 weeks, when swelling goes down; the final look of the face arrives within 3–6 months. With a surgical SMAS facelift the effect lasts 7–10 years.

Yes. For the first 7–10 days you need rest, a compression bandage and reduced physical activity. Swelling and bruising fade in 2–4 weeks, and full recovery takes about 2 months. Your operating surgeon follows you up for the whole first year.

One operation gives a complete result. A repeat procedure is possible after 7–10 years if the patient wants it.
