You should know that after Total Face Lift operation (which includes blepharoplasty, tissue inoculation to face, mid-face lift, temple, neck and face lifting), face oedema will decrease after first month and you need to be patient. After face lift surgery, your look will not change, you will only be younger than before. Only thing you need to do is to show little patience. After this operation, major face recovery happens at first 3 months, final results will be observed in 6-12 months. If you don’t need Total Face Lift and you need smaller operations (Short Scar Face Lift / Mid Face lift /Face Lift without Bleferoplasthy/ Traditional Face Lift), recovery process will be faster.
