Facelift Recovery Help at Home in Orange County & San Diego: What to Expect from Professional Aftercare
Recovering from a facelift is a delicate process that requires both physical support and emotional reassurance. At My Lending Hands, we provide expert post-surgery care in the comfort of your own home or hotel throughout Orange County and San Diego County. Whether you're a local resident or traveling for surgery, our care team is here to make your recovery as smooth and stress-free as possible—starting with safe transportation from your surgery center to your recovery location.
What to Expect After Your Facelift Surgery
Most facelift patients don’t report intense pain—rather, they often describe a feeling of tightness or pressure around the face, especially in the first 24–48 hours. Swelling and mild bruising are normal, and with the right care, most discomfort becomes manageable within the first few days.
Our aftercare specialists typically begin services immediately following your procedure, providing overnight care on the first night, which is the most critical part of your recovery. During this time, our team will:
- Provide medication reminders to help keep you on schedule with your pain management and antibiotics
- Assist with mobility, including getting in and out of bed, walking to the bathroom, or navigating stairs
- Help you stay properly positioned, as most surgeons recommend resting at a 45-degree angle with pillows behind the back and under the thighs to reduce swelling
- Offer light meal and hydration support, including preparing gentle foods like yogurt, soups, protein shakes, crackers, and lots of water to help you stay nourished without upsetting your stomach
How Long Do I Need Aftercare?
Most facelift patients in Orange County and San Diego opt for at least one overnight with our care team, though many continue with a second day of daytime care. While you may feel more mobile by the second day, it’s still important to take it slow. Additional care ensures that you don’t accidentally overexert yourself too early in the healing process.
We customize every recovery plan based on your surgeon’s guidelines and your personal comfort level. Our goal is to help you heal faster, safer, and with peace of mind.
