Hello,
Recovery typically involves some degree of bruising and swelling, which can be managed effectively with pain medication, ice packs, and keeping the head elevated, especially during sleep. Staying hydrated and avoiding strenuous activities in the first few weeks will also aid in your recovery.
Choosing the right surgeon is paramount—ensure that they are board-certified and have a wealth of experience in facial surgeries. Discussing your aesthetic goals with your surgeon during the consultation will help align your expectations with the achievable outcomes. It's normal for the final results to take up to a year to fully stabilize as the tissues settle and heal. If you have any concerns during your recovery, do not hesitate to contact your surgeon.
Wishing you a smooth recovery and excellent results.
