What should be done to get rid of swelling?

In order to get rid of swelling caused by face lift surgeries, it is necessary to pay attention to many things. When these are to be examined;

  1. The amount of salt consumption should be minimized to prevent the increase or occurrence of edema. Thanks to the abundant water consumption, edema formations are prevented and the swellings formed as a result of the surgery disappear a little faster.
  2. Skin care should be done well when the flasters, which will remain on the faces for 3 days after the operation, are opened. Cleaning should be done with herbal skin care products determined under the supervision of a doctor.
  3. Those who want to get rid of swelling should not skimp on vitamin supplements after surgery. It is essential to take the necessary amount of vitamins in order for both the scars on the skin and the swelling to heal in a shorter time.
  4. The use of harmful products such as cigarettes or alcohol will cause both swelling to increase more and scars to heal later. For this reason, people who use it should prefer to stay away from cigarettes and alcohol until the swelling completely goes down and the scars go away.
  5. The use of a face mask is very important after operations. After the stretching procedures performed in the regions, it is necessary to wear a mask both during the day and at night for the first week in order for blood to accumulate under the skin and for the facial skin to fit into place. As of the second week, it will be enough to wear masks only in the evening. Masks should be worn regularly until the swelling completely goes down and the scars formed on the faces go away. These masks will help to improve the blood flow on the faces more comfortably, protect from harmful microbes that will come from around, and reduce swelling in a shorter time.
