Possible side effects of facelift surgery usually include skin swelling. Some patients may develop scars, and if proper care is not taken during recovery, the incision site may become infected. After a facelift procedure, it's important to maintain proper local care. The surgical area should not come into contact with water in the short term to promote optimal healing.
