Facelift Surgery Patient Information -
Resuming Normal Activities

WORK: Follow the plan you and Dr. Zevon have agreed upon. For planning purposes, you can assume it may take up to two weeks to return to work, although some facelift patients are able to return to work in less time.

EXERCISE: Avoid vigorous activity, including strenuous sexual activity, and contact sports for 4 weeks. Dr. Zevon will give you permission to increase your activities according to the progress of your recovery and your overall fitness level.

EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT: Avoid direct sun exposure on incisions for 1 month. Scars take at least one year to fade to their greatest extent. During this time, it is advisable to protect them from the sun. Use a high SPF sunblock and a hat when outside on sunny days. We carry sunscreens suitable for post-surgery facelift patients. Continue avoidance of the sun and heat, including steam rooms and saunas, for 3 months to avoid swelling.
