Will I have to take time off from work after a facelift?
You're going to have significant bruising and swelling after a facelift. So if your having facelift surgery I would suggest that you consider either a week or two off from work. It's not necessarily a matter of being able not to function after a facelift, but you're going to be black and blue and swollen. So if you're going to meet clients as part of your work, or patients, or have any social interaction, you're probably going to be pretty bruised up for a week or two. I would consider working at home as better off.
