What are the side effects of facelift surgery?

Modern medical plastic surgery technology is developing rapidly, and many technologies have emerged that can change people's appearance, allowing more and more beauty-conscious people to stay youthful. For example, facelift surgery is a common plastic surgery with outstanding results. The excellent results have been highly praised by a large number of beauty lovers. However, any surgery has risks. Let's take a look at the side effects of facelift surgery.

If the doctor does not perform the radiofrequency skin tightening surgery properly, it may cause sequelae such as local edema, blisters, bruises or uneven skin. The risk of a major face lift is very high. Motor and sensory nerves may be injured during the operation, which may weaken or even cause loss of facial movement. Motor and sensory nerves may be lost temporarily or permanently. Although the nerves may heal over time, damage to the sensory nerves in the face and neck can cause temporary or permanent partial paralysis.

Do not smoke before facelift surgery, as smoking can cause vasoconstriction, which can reduce blood supply and make wounds difficult to heal. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and take more vitamin C to promote wound healing. Stop taking aspirin and painkillers before surgery to avoid postoperative bleeding. Blood pressure and blood sugar must be normal during surgery.

Someone needs to accompany the patient within eight hours after the operation to observe whether there is any disturbance of consciousness; ice compresses are needed after the operation, and the ice compresses should be limited according to the individual's tolerance to avoid frostbite. Hot compresses can be applied after 48 hours, but pay attention to the temperature of the hot compress to avoid burns; spicy and irritating foods should be avoided within one week after the operation, and seafood should also be avoided to avoid allergic reactions and injuries; after a facelift, the head needs to be kept higher than the heart to prevent bleeding and swelling. The head must also be raised when sleeping to avoid the head being too low and causing congestion and swelling.
