The relatively short recovery associated with facial plastic surgery is one thing that surprises most patients. Of course, the amount of time that you need to take off work and social events will vary based on your chosen procedure, your rate of healing, and how closely you adhere to the post-op guidelines. But the time commitment is likely more manageable than you might expect.
For example, many people are able to return to work just seven days after eyelid surgery. Meanwhile, a facelift typically requires two weeks off.
