In general, facelift surgery it has minimal pain. Although it is somewhat uncomfortable the first few days because you have a head wrap on. Most patients do very well with oral antibiotics and Tylenol and eventually switching over to Advil for the pain. If you would like to further discuss with me, you can direct message me @DrDaddyK on IG to set up a virtual consultation.
Typically no, there is tightness and discomfort usually most for the first 1-3 days. Most patients get by with Tylenol alone after day 2.
