Side effects of facelift surgery

The side effects of facelift surgery primarily refer to postoperative complications. Facelift procedures can be categorized into mini-lifts and full facelifts. Common postoperative complications include localized swelling; in severe cases, this swelling may stretch facial nerves, leading to paralysis of facial muscles and resulting in symptoms such as drooping mouth corners, misaligned eyes, or other signs of facial paralysis. However, if the facelift surgery is performed at a qualified medical facility by an experienced and professional surgeon, these complications generally do not occur.
