Question:
I’m a runner and am physically active almost every day of the week. I’m planning on having a facelift within the next 3 months and was wondering how long until I could run again after the surgery?
Answer:
There is some downtime with a facelift and most surgeons recommend a period of exercise restriction. That can vary depending on how much work is done. In general, however, it is recommended that you not run or do other aerobic exercise activities for two weeks. See the post-operative facelift instructions for more information on after surgery recuperation.
