Facelift surgery can help reduce the signs of aging on your face and give you a more youthful look. However, take note that if you undergo this surgical procedure, you can expect to take a  short period of time for recovery. If you don’t manage to follow the recommended recovery steps, complications might arise. So before you step onto your doctor’s office for the appointment, be sure you’ve got yourself prepped up:


Do the day’s chores.

Clean your house. Do laundry. Bathe the dogs. Do as much of your daily tasks as you can, since you won’t be able to do any of the heavy chores for at least 24 hours, while the surgical wounds heal. For as long as your doctor recommends rest, you will do nothing more than take a lull from physical work to ensure healing takes its course while you give yourself sufficient time to recover.

Call for help.

Your surgeon will administer a certain level of anesthetics before surgery, and even after the procedure, you will be restricted from operating heavy machinery, such as driving your car immediately after the surgery.  It’s crucial that you ask someone to drive you to and from the doctor’s office, instead.

Stock up on Soft Foods


As your face recovers, chewing hard food might be difficult to manage, especially in the skin around your mouth. It is advised that you take soft foods, instead. Make sure that you already have adequate stock of such foods before you go for your surgery.
