Initial recovery spans 10-14 days, during which patients experience expected swelling and bruising as tissues adapt to their repositioned locations.

Week one typically involves the most significant swelling, particularly around the eyes and lower face. Deep plane techniques may produce more initial swelling than superficial procedures due to the extensive tissue release, though bruising often proves less severe due to dissection in avascular planes.

Recovery from a deep plane facelift typically involves 2-3 weeks of initial healing, with most visible bruising resolving within 7-10 days and sutures removed at days 7-10. International patients can generally travel home after 10-14 days once swelling has stabilised and wound checks are complete.

Dr. Edgar Santos provides a personalised recovery timeline during consultation.

Deep plane facelift results typically last 10-15 years, significantly longer than traditional SMAS or mini-facelift procedures, which tend to last 5-8 years.
