This is a normal part of the healing process and typically resolves over time, allowing you to regain normal sensation. Your surgeon will provide you with detailed instructions on how to manage any numbness and will monitor your progress during follow-up appointments to ensure optimal healing.

Are there age restrictions for facelift surgery?
Facelift surgery is typically performed on patients who are in their 40s, 50s, or older, as these individuals tend to experience more visible signs of facial aging. However, age alone is not the sole determining factor, and the decision to undergo a facelift should be based on individual considerations such as skin quality, overall health, and aesthetic goals.
