Facelift surgery?

Somebody was telling me that the recovery after a facelift surgery is not worth it. That it's too painful. I've never met anyone that's had one in real life

    You will feel some pain for 2 to 4 days after surgery. You may have some trouble opening your mouth for several days. The skin around the incision probably will be numb. You may have some itching or shooting pain as the feeling returns, though it may take several months for the numbness to go away.

    It's not worth it, just age gracefully or use fillers that aren't invasive, also who wants to be in the Healthcare system for something elective in the middle of a pandemic? Imagine if you have a complication and have to stay in the hospital, then you would have the pain from the face-lift on top of COVId, just a bad idea. A real person will love you for your personality. Spend the money traveling or something, expand your knowledge of the world, and bring that to the table. Also IMO older Spanish men are very attractive regardless of how they age.

    This really depends on the surgeon, what the surgery is, and what the care for the patient is like after the surgery.  

    There are so many different kinds of face lifts, each procedure is different and each person is different.  If you want to get plastic surgery go ahead and get it.  All forms of body modifications are going to hurt, but its up to you to decide if its worth it.

    I haven't had a facelift, but I know people who have. From what I've been told, it can be somewhat of a rollercoaster ride. There is swelling, bruising, scars, tightness, and yes, it can be painful. Whether it feels worth going through all this is personal to the individual having the procedure. Hope this helps.

    It's major invasive surgery and you are on bed rest for several weeks. It takes a couple months to recover and some find it takes a few months for all the bruising and swelling to go down and the sutures to heal. The perception is that you get surgery and a week later you look like a new person and the perception is wrong. It's a very difficult recovery and takes a long time. Making things worse is that the face is full of nerves so even small and mini lifts can be painful. I personally think the downsides far outweigh the upsides so I would never go for the major face lift surgery. As long as fillers can help and look mostly natural that's enough for me.

    I haven't had it done. It seems a bit like a thing of the past. These days there is so much done with fillers and bands, and there are so many less invasive options. It depends what you need done. If your needs are more than the less invasive options can offer, then go for it. People forget pain. If not, a woman would never have a second baby and an addict would never pick up again.
