"While I use expert techniques and a personalized touch to provide patients with natural-looking results after their facelift procedures, it's important that patients understand they will not see these results overnight," said Dr. Sadati, a board certified facial plastic surgeon who is based out of Newport Beach. "The recovery process is an important part of the surgery experience, and it solidifies the work that was done during the operation."
The facelift recovery process takes seven to 10 days to complete, and some side effects can linger for several months. Patients need to understand this fact, and make a commitment to resting and recovering before they undergo this procedure. The recovery process is the key to a successful surgery. Anyone in Orange County who is looking into a facelift procedure should know these facts about the facelift recovery process:
Bruising and swelling is common immediately after the operation, and can take seven to 10 days to subside. Most patients are ready to return to work and other daily obligations one week after the operation.
The patient's face will be bandaged after the operation. This is to protect the results as well as minimize the amount of bruising and swelling on the face. Patients should not shower or shampoo their hair until after the bandages have been removed.
The patient must keep their head elevated for at least two to three days after the surgery. This is a pivotal part of the process. Patients should note that if they don't keep their head elevated, the recovery process can be significantly longer.
Common side effects that are known to linger include tightness around the face and numbness near the surgical site.
Patients must be aware of the signs of infection and contact their surgeon immediately if they are experiencing any symptoms of infection. High fever, increased pain, drainage, redness or warmth at the incision site are common signs of infection.
Every patient who works with Dr. Sadati receives customized care and attention. He recognizes that every facelift procedure is different, just as every facelift candidate is unique. Every patient receives a customized surgical plan that addresses their individual needs, as well as post-operative instructions designed to aid them personally through the recovery process. This ensures that all patients gets the best, most natural-looking results possible after their operation.
"I make it a point to get to know every patient I work with on an individual basis, allowing me to create truly astounding results," said Dr. Sadati. "Most of my patients are shocked to look in the mirror after they recover and see the person they were 10 years prior to the operation."

"I feel it's essential that patients and caretakers understand what needs to be done during the recovery process," said Dr. Sadati. "Taking proper care of the incisions after the operation will ensure that there is minimal scarring on the patient's face."
In the blog post, Dr. Sadati identifies the following tips for taking care of incisions after a facelift procedure:
First and foremost, check the incision area for infection every day.
Avoid showering and shampooing hair until at least 48 hours after the operation. Patients should wait until their bandages are removed before they shower or bathe.
Wear sunscreen at all times, and keep the scars protected from the sun every day for at least a year. Patients should wear sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher regardless of whether it is a cloudy day or a sunny day.
Incisions should be cleaned each day during the recovery process.
Patients should purchase new makeup to wear after their operation. No makeup should be placed on or near the incisions, but should instead only be used to disguise any bruising that might be present on the face for several days after the surgery.
Patients should rest with their head elevated for 48 hours after the operation. This is one of the keys to a successful recovery and ensures the best results. Elevation helps to reduce the swelling on the face as well as minimize the pressure on the incisions, allowing the surgeon's best work to shine through in the end.
Do not remove steri-strips. Steri-strips are designed to fall off on their own when they are done protecting the incision.
Cold compresses can be used to help manage pain and keep the swelling down near the incision area.
Most patients who opt to have a facelift procedure performed want natural-looking results and want the procedure itself to remain discreet. Taking care of the incisions will help minimize the appearance of scars on a person's face, as well as ensure long-term results for the patient. It's important that any patient who is undergoing this particular surgery follow any and all post-operative instructions provided to them by Dr. Sadati.
"I make it a point to create custom recovery instructions for each patient so that everyone's individual needs are addressed," said Dr. Sadati. "These tips will help any patient through the recovery process, but it's important that they also follow the individual instructions that I provide them with prior to the surgery."
Through his extensive consultation process, Dr. Sadati gets to know each patient on an individual basis. He is careful to analyze many different factors before confirming that an individual is a good candidate for the facelift procedure. For him, it's essential that all patients understand the importance of the recovery process and its impact on their long-term results.
