Q: Will my scars show after surgery?
A: Most of the scars will be hidden behind your hairline and in the natural creases of your skin. Over time, your scars will fade and be scarcely noticeable.

Q: How long will I have to stay off work?
A: Each person will vary in regard to time off work due to individual healing time and the type of work you perform. To minimize your time off work, you need to follow your pre- and post- operative instructions to prevent further complications such as infection or excessive swelling. Your surgeon and nurse will aid you in the healing process to ensure you get the best results possible.

Q: How long will my facelift last?
A: A facelift does not stop the aging clock, so you will continue to age with time. What it does is re-firm and tighten the skin, giving you a more youthful and refreshed look which may last for years.

Q: What risks can I expect from a facelift?
A: When surgery is performed by a certified plastic surgeon, complications are usually infrequent and minor. Because each individual may vary in regard to healing abilities and physical reaction, the outcome is never completely foreseen. Some of the complications which may occur include a hematoma (a collection of blood under the skin), nerve injury (control of facial muscles but usually temporary), infection and poor healing capabilities (mostly likely affecting smokers).
