Face Procedure

Post Operative Question Answer

When can I expect the initial swelling and bruising to subside?

After plastic surgery aesthetic procedures, it is common to experience initial swelling and bruising, which typically peak within the first few days and gradually subside over the following weeks. While individual recovery varies, most patients can expect a significant reduction in swelling and bruising within 2 to 4 weeks, with final results becoming more apparent as healing progresses. Adhering to post-operative care instructions, such as keeping the head elevated, applying cold compresses, and avoiding strenuous activities, can help minimize swelling and promote a faster recovery.
