A broad brimmed hat and SPF 15 or stronger sunscreen is essential. You should not sunbathe for six weeks. Recovery or after care accommodation provide continued recuperation for the patient.

Exercise also needs to be curtailed for a full two to three weeks.
The majority of patients go back to work after two weeks or a little longer. Smoking increases your risk of poor healing after any surgery, but especially after a face lift.

Infection, bleeding, and damage to important structures such as nerves in the operating area may occur.
