Should I have a facelift instead?

Based on your exam, you will be advised as to which procedure better corrects your problems. Often lesser surgery ends up with lesser result.

Swelling and bruising are inescapable but they can be well managed to improve your healing.

Should I wear a garment afterwards?

A night compression garment is recommended for one month in order to minimize edema fluid from collecting under the skin.
