Recovery

A loose bandage will be applied to your face and head. You should expect bruising, swelling, numbness, tenderness, and tightness of the skin. The bandage will help reduce bruising and swelling. For the first three days, keep your head elevated with as little movement of the face as possible. First two weeks after surgery, you should only take on light activities such as walking or mild stretching. Pain medication, prescribed by the surgeon, will help control the discomfort during your recovery period. Instructions for home care will be provided at your pre-op appointment.
