I had a facelift surgery at the hospital yesterday, but my face is still slightly swollen today. I'd like to ask how long it usually takes for the swelling to go down after facelift surgery?

Swelling usually subsides within 10 to 15 days after facial wrinkle removal surgery, but it may sometimes take a month or longer, as healing time varies depending on individual metabolic rates and post-operative care. Wrinkle removal surgery typically causes some trauma to the skin, which results in swelling.
