There are cares to be applied after facelift surgery and there are issues that we want our patients to pay attention to. The patient does not describe any pain or pain when he comes out of the face lift surgery. An uncomfortable pressure, feeling of tension and numbness prevails in the entire face. The routine that is not a variable situation. In face lifts, the patient has a long incision line starting from both temples and advancing from the edges of the ears, behind the ear and from the root of the hair. All this incision line is closed with stitches to be removed after 8 to 10 days. So the dressing of the patient is here. It is wrapped with a bandage and the patient wakes up like this. 4 hours after the surgery, he opens the regimen with foods that will not harm the stomach and intestinal system or cause gas. After the patient completes his feeding, he gets up and takes a small walk, thus completing his first mobilization. It is not an operation that will limit the patient's mobility. However, since the procedure is on the face, the balance mechanism will not be in place on the first day and since there is sensitivity on the face, he should avoid turning his neck quickly or making sudden movements. Two drains are placed in order to draw the edema and accumulated fluids in the operation at the request of the physician. Thus, the fluid accumulation inside will be less, and the patient's edema will be less. It will pass quickly. The patient stays in the hospital for one night. Medicines, care and treatments are done under the supervision of the nurse. If the physician deems it appropriate, the drains are removed and the bandage is opened the next day of the surgery. The patient is discharged after giving the prescription of the drugs to be used. This is desired to minimize edema and swelling. The patient should be fed richer in protein for faster healing of wounds. The patient is called for control for 3/4 days. The physician checks the stitches and the dressing is renewed. If the patient does not have drains at home, he can take a shower after the 4th day without removing the stitches, if the doctor gives permission. If there are drains, the patient will not take a shower. After the physician's observation, some patients will take a shower 24 hours after the stitches are removed. won't come The patient can be washed in an additional way. After the surgery, the patient is called for control on the 8th/10th day, the stitches are removed and the wounds are covered with tapes. The patient will be able to take a shower over these tapes, and it will be sufficient to dry these tapes with a blow dryer after getting out of the shower. These massages should be done with oils such as ozonized olive oil or centaury oil from the inside towards the wounds. It is recommended not to stay in a smoking environment and walks in the forest and the seaside, where you can get plenty of oxygen, in the near-term recovery.
