Day 10 after my facelift is one of those in between days. My face looks pretty, there’s visible progress, but it still doesn’t feel like my face yet. The swelling is still significant, there’s yellow bruising settling in, and everything is very much still healing.
In this video, I’m sharing what Day 10 of facelift recovery looks like when things are improving visually, but not fully settled physically or emotionally. I talk about the swelling, the bruising changes, and the small things I can do now that I couldn’t do a week ago. If you’re researching facelift recovery timelines, this is a realistic look at how progress can show up before familiarity does.
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 researching your own recovery, this is an honest look at that stage where things look better but still feel unfamiliar.
Day 10 after my facelift brought a mix of emotions and continued physical recovery. This journey, guided by my doctor, continues to be a process of patience and self-care. The healing process after plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery is a long one, but I'm making progress, and this recovery from surgery is going smoothly.
