Day 11 after my facelift feels different, but not in a dramatic way. The swelling is still there, healing is still very much happening, but visually things are starting to come together. And that brings a strange mix of relief and disconnect at the same time.
In this video, I’m sharing what Day 11 of facelift recovery actually feels like once your face starts looking better, but doesn’t fully feel like yours yet. The swelling, the tightness, the unfamiliarity, and the mental adjustment that comes with this stage. If you’re researching facelift recovery timelines, this is a part that doesn’t get talked about enough.
About my facelift journey (for context):
I’m 52 and I’ve lost about 120 pounds over the last few years, which left me with significant loose skin on my face and neck. This was something I thought about for a long time, researched carefully, and chose to do when the timing felt right.
I chose Dr. Paige Kennedy in Lafayette, Louisiana, through Hubbell Dermatology.
My procedures included a facelift, neck lift, upper blepharoplasty (lid lift), a lower lid pinch, fat grafting from the stomach to the temples and under eyes, earlobe reduction, and salivary gland reduction to improve jawline definition. The total cost was in the low five figures, which I share to help answer common questions and set realistic expectations.
Each video in this facelift recovery series stands on its own, so you don’t need to watch them in order. If you’re following along or considering surgery yourself, this is an honest look at that in between stage where progress shows up before comfort does.
