I received a facelift a little over a month ago.

Question:
I received a facelift a little over a month ago. My face still feels very stretched and tight and it’s very uncomfortable. Is this normal and when should it clear up?

Answer:
If you received a facelift about a month ago you should still be in the healing phase. Tightness of the skin is not particularly concerning, but, significant amounts of discomfort a month after you facelift may be something that you will want to discuss with your surgeon and be specific about the locations of the discomfort so that they can best address your concerns.
