Recovery Timeline After Facelift, Rhinoplasty or Blepharoplasty in Montréal

Understanding recovery is critical before committing to facial surgery. While modern techniques drastically improve comfort and healing time, recovery still follows a structured timeline. Montréal patients value transparency — knowing when swelling subsides, when they can return to work, and when results become visible.

Facelift & Neck Lift Recovery

• Days 1–5: Swelling, tightness, bruising
• Days 7–10: Sutures removed, social downtime decreases
• Weeks 3–6: Residual swelling fades
• Months 3–6: Final results emerge

Most patients return to work in 10–14 days.

Rhinoplasty Recovery

• Week 1: Splint removal
• Weeks 2–3: Bruising resolves
• Months 1–3: Most swelling gone
• Months 6–12: Final nasal definition

Rhinoplasty healing requires patience — but results improve continuously.

Blepharoplasty Recovery

• Days 2–4: Swelling and bruising peak
• Days 5–7: Majority of bruising resolves
• Weeks 2–4: Eyes look refreshed
• Months 2–3: Final refinement visible
