Rhytidectomy (Facelift) Recovery

During a facelift procedure, also known as a rhytidectomy, Dr. Shaun Parson will help you look more youthful by removing excess skin and fat while lifting the tissue. To heal correctly during the rhytidectomy recovery period, it’s critical to follow Dr. Parson’s post-operative care instructions. This is the best way to ensure optimal results.

Because tissue alteration is involved, the procedure can create bruising and swelling. Discoloration during rhytidectomy recovery can linger for several weeks, disappearing gradually, and the majority of the swelling should also subside during this time.

To expedite rhytidectomy recovery, it’s recommended that you use cool compresses over the swelling for durations of 20 minutes at a time.

Once the bruising and swelling go away and your rhytidectomy recovery is complete, you’ll be able to fully appreciate the youthful improvements. Contact Dr. Parson at our Scottsdale office to set up a consultation today!
