Find the best doctor for you
Whenever going in for any type of cosmetic surgery, it is important that you work with an experienced doctor with whom you feel comfortable. Make sure that the clinic is accredited as well. If you’re looking for a facial cosmetic clinic in Canada, doing a thorough search is important to find the best options available to you. Do an online research on the selected clinics where you would consider getting the procedure done to make sure they are well reviewed. Try to go to reputed professionals such as Ontario-based Dr. Kristina Zakhary, featured in Global News for her work.
Consider recovery time
Although facelifts are not major procedures, you will still be out of commission for up to a month. Remember to make plans and manage your calendar accordingly. If there are complications, recovery can take more than a month. From the list of things to absolutely avoid doing while recovering, going out in the sun is on the top of the list, so you will have to adjust to the weather for your outdoor excursions.
Prepare for discomfort
It’s natural to feel some discomfort after aesthetic surgery. Usually, this discomfort will last up to a month. Just remember that this pain can make sleeping as well as eating a challenge. But of course, beauty is pain. Keep in mind that this discomfort is only temporary.
Now, being prepared for the pain will help you handle it better. Your doctor should run you through all the things you can do to make yourself more comfortable too.
Tender skin reaction
While on the topic, we have to discuss how your skin would feel afterwards. As your nerves would be healing, your skin might be more tender than usual. Most likely, you won’t be able to use your usual skincare routine. Do not panic, as your skin reacting like this is perfectly normal. It means that the procedure was successful.
Get ready for some swelling
Don’t expect to see amazing results right after your facelift. Your face will be swollen, so give it time to recover. Unfortunately, many patients forget that their face is swollen and are immediately disappointed with their facelift. If you just wait it out for a couple of weeks, you will see the results that you wanted. As you can imagine, depending on the type of person you are, the amount of swelling that you will experience will differ.
Final thoughts
Considering everything that was discussed here, there are many points to keep in mind before getting a facelift. Of utmost importance is to do a comprehensive research on the doctor and clinic that you intend to choose. Be also prepared for some discomfort and swelling, as it can last for a couple of weeks after you get the procedure.
