Can I resume my daily activities immediately after a facial lifting procedure? I am curious about the swelling and recovery period.

I am concerned about facial sagging and would like to get a face lift, but since I work, I am most worried about the recovery period. It is difficult for me to take a long vacation, so I am wondering if I can resume my daily activities immediately after the procedure and if it is okay to go to work the next day.

I looked it up online, and while some people say the results are barely noticeable immediately after the procedure, others mentioned having to wear a mask for several days due to swelling or bruising, so it seems there is a significant difference from person to person. I would like to know how long the swelling actually lasts, and whether there are any symptoms such as severe redness or throbbing pain in the face.

I am also curious about when I can wash my face or apply makeup after the procedure, and how many days I should avoid exercise, saunas, and alcohol. If there are any special precautions I need to take during the recovery period, I would like to know in advance and prepare accordingly.
