Swelling or bruising may occur for 2-3 days after surgery. The duration can vary depending on the individual, but usually subsides within about 2 weeks.
During this time, keeping your face elevated above heart level can help reduce swelling. Sleeping with your upper body elevated is also beneficial.
Avoid lying face down or positioning your head downward.
Cold Compress
Apply cold compresses for 3 days after surgery. Cooling the surgical area helps constrict blood vessels, preventing bleeding from small capillaries and reducing bruising and swelling.
Cover the surgical area with clean gauze to prevent direct contact with the ice pack.
Apply the cold compress 5-6 times a day for about 30 minutes each time.
Maintaining Cleanliness
Avoid activities that may cause inflammation after surgery. Although the surgery is performed in a sterile environment, poor hygiene afterward can lead to infection.
If inflammation occurs, it may interfere with proper healing and lead to scarring or affect the surgical outcome.
Do not rub the surgical site with unclean hands or gauze.
Scarring
Scarring may be visible for about 2 weeks but will gradually become less noticeable over 1-3 months.
The surgical area may appear red for several weeks but will naturally improve over time.
Do not use scar ointments. Only use the prescribed eye ointment provided by the clinic.
Medications
Take only the painkillers and antibiotics prescribed by the clinic.
Medications are prescribed to prevent inflammation, reduce swelling, prevent bacterial infection, and relieve post-surgery pain.
Exercise
Light walking is allowed 2-3 days after surgery. Aerobics, gym workouts, swimming, and sauna can be resumed after 1 month.

Makeup can be applied the day after stitch removal, but avoid heavy or colored makeup for 2 weeks.
Apply the prescribed eye ointment to the surgical site using a cotton swab 3-4 times a day for 7 days.
Non-incision Double Eyelid Surgery
Small lumps may form at the sutured areas but can be removed at the clinic if necessary.
Avoid water or sweat contacting the area for the first 2 days.
Makeup can be applied after 2-3 days, but avoid heavy makeup for 2 weeks.
Be gentle when removing makeup.
Apply the prescribed eye ointment 3-4 times a day for 7 days.
Eyelid Correction Surgery (Incision/Non-incision)
Non-incision surgery may cause small lumps at sutured areas, which can be removed if necessary.
You may wash your face and apply makeup from the 4th day after surgery. Avoid heavy makeup for 3 weeks.
Apply prescribed eye ointment for 5 days (non-incision) or 7 days (incision), 3-4 times daily.
Canthoplasty
The surgical site may appear red initially, gradually blending with skin tone over 6 months.
The area may feel firm after 2 weeks but will soften over 2-3 months.
Temporary tearing, crusting, or blurry vision may occur but usually improves within 1-2 weeks.
Lateral Canthoplasty
Redness in the whites of the eyes may last about 2 weeks, occasionally up to 3-4 weeks.
Conjunctival swelling may occur but typically improves within 1-3 weeks.
Results may vary depending on individual eye structure.
Undereye Fat Removal and Repositioning
Face washing and makeup are allowed from the 4th day after surgery. Avoid heavy makeup for 3 weeks.
Be gentle when removing makeup.
Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty
Stitches are removed on the 5th day. Washing is allowed the following day.
Makeup can be applied after stitch removal but avoid heavy or colored makeup for 2 weeks.
Apply prescribed eye ointment 3-4 times daily for 7 days.
Swelling usually increases during the first 2–3 days after surgery and then gradually improves over 1–2 weeks, allowing you to return to daily activities.
Pain
Pain typically lasts for 1–2 days and is generally mild. Most discomfort begins to subside from day 3 onward.
If the pain is bothersome, you may take additional pain relievers such as Tylenol. Avoid aspirin or any medications not recommended by your doctor.
Diet
You may start drinking water or other fluids approximately 4 hours after surgery.
For the first 1–2 days after discharge, consume soft or liquid foods such as porridge, soup, dairy products, sponge cake, and sweet potatoes.
You may gradually transition to a soft regular diet after 3–4 days.
Post-Operative Care
Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 4 weeks, as they can slow the healing process.
Take all prescribed medications as instructed without skipping doses.
If sudden swelling or severe bruising appears around the jaw area within the first 2–3 days, contact the clinic immediately.
After zygoma surgery, if you experience a nosebleed or runny nose, gently dab the area and avoid forceful nose blowing.
Avoid aspirin, vitamin E, or hormonal supplements for at least 1 week to reduce the risk of bleeding.
To help reduce swelling, keep your head slightly elevated (approximately 15–20 degrees) during the first 3 days and avoid sleeping on your side.
Apply cold compresses during the first 3–4 days. Do not place ice directly on the skin. Use a cloth or gauze as a protective layer. Internal sutures usually dissolve and come out naturally within 3–4 weeks.
Avoid makeup and skincare products on the face for at least 1 week. Avoid hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for 2–3 weeks.
You may gently wash your face starting the day after surgery, but avoid rubbing the surgical area for approximately 3 weeks.
Avoid hard or chewy foods for 3 weeks, as they may place excessive pressure on the surgical area and potentially shift the bone.
Apply Vaseline to keep the lips moisturized if dryness occurs.
After eating or drinking, rinse your mouth with clean water to prevent infection. Avoid mouthwash, as it may cause irritation.
Use a soft children’s toothbrush for gentler and safer oral hygiene.
Wear the compression band continuously for the first 24 hours. After that, wear it intermittently for 1 week, and continue use for up to 1 month for optimal results.
Avoid using straws, as they can place excessive pressure on the mouth area.
Please note that all surgical procedures carry potential risks such as infection, inflammation, or other complications, which may vary by individual.
For procedures involving intraoral incisions, there is a possibility that orthodontic devices or veneers may be damaged.
Implant Removal / Scar Tissue Removal
Scars may appear most noticeable around 2–3 months after surgery but will gradually fade and become less visible after approximately 6 months.
Avoid direct impact or excessive handling of the incision area, as this may increase the risk of infection.
Facial Contour Implants (Cheek, Chin, Forehead)
If you undergo forehead implant surgery, wear the compression band for 4–5 days unless otherwise instructed by your doctor.
For chin or cheek implants with intraoral incisions, regular gargling with a disinfectant solution is recommended to prevent infection. Avoid touching or applying pressure to the implanted area to prevent displacement.
The first and second days after surgery are very important, so be sure to take all prescribed medications exactly as instructed by your doctor.
Swelling and bruising usually appear during the first 2–3 days and then gradually improve.
Applying cold compresses during the first 1–3 days can help reduce swelling and support faster healing.
The surgical area may feel slightly firm for 2–3 weeks but will gradually soften over 3–6 months.
Avoid rubbing or applying excessive pressure to the surgical area; cleanse and care for it gently.
Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 4 weeks, as they can slow the healing process.
Philtrum Reduction
Makeup is usually allowed starting 10 days after surgery, once the sutures have been removed.
Avoid prolonged exposure to heat such as saunas, steam rooms, or strenuous exercise that causes excessive sweating for 3–4 weeks, as this may lead to swelling or wound reopening.
For approximately 1 month, avoid excessive mouth movements or stretching of the philtrum area, such as pronouncing the letter “O.”
Lip Reduction
The sutures used are absorbable and will dissolve on their own. If any sutures remain after 2 weeks, your doctor can remove them during a clinic visit.
Avoid opening your mouth too wide for at least 1 month after surgery to prevent stress on the healing tissues.
Avoid treatments around the lip area (including laser procedures) for at least 2 months after surgery.
Temporary numbness in the lip area after surgery is normal and usually improves within about 1 week.
Swelling usually increases during the first 2–3 days after surgery and then gradually improves over 1–2 weeks, allowing you to return to daily activities.
Pain
Pain typically lasts for 1–2 days and is generally mild. Most discomfort begins to subside from day 3 onward.
If the pain is bothersome, you may take additional pain relievers such as Tylenol. Avoid aspirin or any medications not recommended by your doctor.

Pain
Pain usually lasts for 1–2 days but is not severe. By the 3rd day, you should hardly feel any pain. If the pain is severe, you may take additional painkillers such as Tylenol (avoid aspirin or other painkillers).
Diet
You may start consuming water or beverages 4 hours after surgery. After discharge, focus on soft, liquid foods (such as porridge, soup, dairy products, sponge cake, and sweet potatoes) for 1–2 days. After that, transition to a regular diet emphasizing soft foods for the next 3–4 days.
Post-Surgery Treatment Instructions
Avoid alcohol and smoking for 4 weeks to prevent infection.
Take your prescribed medication without skipping any doses.
Be cautious of bleeding for 2–3 days post-surgery. If your jaw suddenly swells significantly or bruising becomes severe, contact and visit the hospital immediately.
For cheekbone surgery, if you experience nosebleeds or a runny nose, gently wipe away the flow without blowing your nose vigorously.
To prevent bleeding, avoid painkillers such as aspirin, vitamin E, and hormones for at least one week post-surgery. Tylenol is acceptable.
To reduce swelling, sit upright as much as possible during the day for the first 3 days. When lying down, keep your head elevated by 15–20 degrees (use two or three pillows) and avoid lying on your side.
Apply cold compresses for the first 3–4 days, using a towel or gauze to avoid frostbite from direct ice contact.
The sutures inside your mouth are dissolvable and will disappear on their own within 3–4 weeks.
Wait at least one week before applying makeup or other skin treatments. Avoid saunas and full-body baths for 2–3 weeks.
You may wash your face gently after about one day. Avoid rubbing for approximately 3 weeks.
When chewing food, most facial muscles are used unconsciously. If you chew hard or tough foods, there is a high possibility that the operated bone will move. For best results, refrain from eating hard foods for about 3 weeks and eat porridge or soft foods.
Apply Vaseline frequently to keep your lips from drying out.
Gargle after eating or drinking to prevent inflammation. Use only water for gargling, as mouthwash such as Garglin may irritate the wound.
When brushing your teeth, avoid touching the surgical area by using a children’s toothbrush.
Wear the bandage (support garment) for 2–3 days, up to 24 hours at a time, without making it too tight. Continue wearing it for one month.
When sleeping, relax and maintain a comfortable position. Avoid excessive dairy products, as they may interfere with medication absorption.
Do not use straws, as they can put pressure on your mouth.
All surgeries carry risks of complications such as infection and inflammation. Each patient’s condition is unique, and complications may vary.
Braces or laminates in your mouth may be damaged during general anesthesia.
A small incision of approximately 2–2.5 cm under the chin may leave a scar; however, it typically fades gradually within about 3 months.
Bruising and swelling vary from patient to patient. In some cases, a hematoma may develop but usually resolves within 2 weeks. If it persists, needle aspiration may be required.
Light activities such as walking are recommended soon after surgery. Avoid strenuous activities or intense exercise for 1 month. Excessive neck stretching or certain yoga movements should be avoided for 3 months.
Gentle facial cleansing is allowed immediately after surgery, but ensure that the dressing over the incision area remains dry.
Routine follow-up visits are not required after the first week unless symptoms or complications arise.
Wear the compression band regularly for up to 1 month to support optimal healing and results.
After the dressing is removed, apply a specialized scar cream to help fade the incision scar more effectively.
To prevent hyperpigmentation, apply sunscreen regularly to the treated area for at least 6 months when engaging in outdoor activities.
Avoid alcohol consumption and smoking for at least 1 month after surgery. For optimal fat graft survival, it is strongly recommended to avoid both for up to 2 months, as smoking reduces blood flow while alcohol dilates blood vessels and may negatively affect the survival of transplanted fat.
Liposuction does not remove all fat cells. Future weight gain may still lead to new fat accumulation in treated areas. Maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise is important to preserve optimal results.
Avoid foods high in salt, as excessive sodium intake may cause fluid retention and worsen swelling.
Use the protective pads provided by the clinic during the first night of sleep, as mild bleeding or fluid discharge from the incision sites may occur.
Showering & Sutures
When showering, cover the suture areas with waterproof dressings. After showering, the dressings may be removed.
Sutures from liposuction areas are usually removed on postoperative day 7, so please attend your follow-up appointment as scheduled.
It is normal to experience slight bleeding or fluid discharge from the incision sites during the first 1–3 days after surgery.
Nausea & Dizziness
On the first day after surgery, you may experience nausea or dizziness due to the effects of anesthesia. Drink plenty of water and practice deep breathing to help speed up recovery.
Liposuction
Wear the compression garment for 2–3 months after surgery. The garment helps reduce swelling, supports skin tightening, and promotes faster recovery by maintaining proper skin and muscle positioning.
Swelling typically peaks within the first 2–3 weeks and then gradually subsides. Due to gravity, fluid may collect around the ankles or knees. While resting, keep your legs slightly elevated.
If the compression garment feels too tight, it may be removed temporarily for about 1 hour for comfort.
Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 1 week, and preferably up to 1 month. After the first week, gentle massage may help reduce swelling and improve areas that feel uneven.
Mild discomfort may persist for 2–3 days. Get adequate rest according to your body’s needs.
Please visit the clinic for a follow-up the day after surgery. If this is not possible, you may remove the gauze yourself on day 1 or 2 and continue with daily adhesive dressings.
Patients using dental devices such as braces or veneers should be cautious, as there is a risk of damage during general anesthesia.
Fat Grafting
Swelling and bruising usually improve within 1–2 weeks. Apply cold compresses to the grafted areas to help reduce swelling, but avoid direct pressure on the transplanted fat.
Regenerative dressings covering the grafted areas should remain in place for the first 4–5 days.
Avoid rapid or significant weight loss during the healing period (approximately 2–3 months), as this may affect fat survival.
For 2 months, avoid sleeping face-down or applying excessive pressure to grafted areas to prevent displacement of the transplanted fat.
You may wash your face immediately after surgery, but avoid full-body bathing until the sutures are removed.
If your doctor provides specific instructions regarding replacement or removal of regenerative dressings, please follow the clinic’s guidance carefully.
Chest pain is usually most noticeable during the first 24–48 hours after surgery and will gradually improve thereafter.
Avoid strenuous exercise such as aerobics or weight training for at least 4 weeks. Light walking is permitted.
Avoid hot showers, jacuzzis, and saunas for 4 weeks after surgery.
Avoid alcohol and smoking for at least 2 months, as alcohol may increase the risk of infection, while smoking constricts blood vessels and interferes with healing.
Complete rest is essential during the first 1–2 weeks when pain is still prominent. Avoid heavy physical activity and lifting during this period.
Internal (absorbable) sutures are used together with external sutures to maintain incision stability.
Absorbable sutures may surface during the healing process. If this occurs, please visit the clinic promptly for proper care.
Use waterproof dressings while showering to keep the incision area dry. Remove the dressing carefully after bathing.
If you use dental devices such as braces or veneers, please be aware that they may be at risk of damage during general anesthesia.
If the incision is made through the armpit, avoid shaving the underarm area for 3–6 months to prevent irritation of the wound.
Breast Augmentation
Wear the support bra as instructed by your surgeon. Afterward, continue wearing a sports bra for at least 3 months to help maintain proper implant positioning.
If a surgical drainage device (PCA) is placed, ensure that the valve remains open. This device is usually removed the following day.
While sleeping, keep your upper body slightly elevated with pillows to help reduce swelling and discomfort. Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach for at least 4 weeks until the breast tissue stabilizes.
The pain pump (PCA) is typically removed on postoperative day 2. If you are unable to return to the clinic, you may remove it yourself using the provided alcohol gauze and hemostatic dressing. Please bring the PCA device back to the clinic during your follow-up visit on day 7.
Take prescribed antibiotics for the first 7 days. Starting from day 8, begin taking anti-capsular contracture medication (such as Singulair) as instructed by your doctor.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Sutures are usually removed approximately 10–14 days after surgery. During this period, keep the incision area dry.
Complete rest is strongly recommended during the first 5 days. Avoid unnecessary movement or activity.
When lying down, place a pillow under your knees to maintain a body angle of approximately 150 degrees. This position helps reduce tension on the incision, as lying completely flat may slow the healing process.
Temporary numbness around the incision area is normal. Avoid applying hot or cold compresses directly to prevent burns or frostbite.
Do not massage the incision area during the early recovery period.
Areola Reduction
Mild bleeding around the incision area is normal. If scabbing occurs, allow it to fall off naturally without picking.
Because this procedure involves an incision, scarring around the areola may occur. Initially, the scar may appear red or slightly raised, but it usually improves over time. Scars do not completely disappear.
Take prescribed antibiotics as directed. Inform the clinic if you are taking other medications, such as those for high blood pressure, diabetes, or liver conditions.
Visit the clinic for suture removal between days 7 and 10 after surgery. Afterward, apply scar treatment gel (e.g., Noscarna Gel) twice daily, morning and evening.
When engaging in outdoor activities, apply a thin layer of silicone-based scar cream (e.g., Dermatix Ultra or ScarDerm Ultra) to protect the incision from UV exposure.
You may begin washing your hair starting from day 5 after surgery. Avoid direct contact with the incision areas and do not apply excessive pressure to the scalp.
Use a mild shampoo, lather it in your hands first, then gently rinse with running water.
Sleeping Position
For the first 2 weeks, sleep with your head slightly elevated (approximately 30 degrees) to help reduce swelling.
Facial Compression Band
The compression band should not be worn too tightly; it should provide gentle, elastic support to the facial area.
Wear the compression garment continuously during the first week. For the following month, it should be worn only while resting or sleeping.
Using the compression headband helps promote healing, reduce swelling, and enhance tightening results.
Alcohol & Smoking
Alcohol and smoking can impair blood circulation and slow the healing process. Smoking, in particular, narrows blood vessels and increases the risk of complications such as skin necrosis or wound separation.
Avoid smoking for at least 1 month, and preferably up to 3 months for optimal results. Alcohol should be avoided for a minimum of 3 months.
Physical Activity & Exercise
Avoid stretching or activities involving the neck and shoulder muscles for 3 months, as they may pull on facial areas that are still healing.
Avoid strenuous exercise such as weight training, Pilates, yoga, or high-impact activities.
If the incision appears red or irritated, stop the activity, rest, and apply a cold compress.
Light walking is recommended starting 1 week after surgery to help reduce swelling.
Scar Care (Topical Treatment)
Please visit the clinic between days 7 and 9 for stitch removal. After stitches are removed:
Apply Noscarna Gel twice daily (morning and evening after cleansing).
When going outdoors, apply a thin layer of Dermatix Ultra (or Scaderm Ultra) over the Noscarna Gel.
UV Protection (Sunscreen)
UV exposure can worsen hypertrophic scar formation.
Before going outside, apply Dermatix Ultra and allow it to dry completely, then apply sunscreen to the entire face.
Additional Notes
Patients with orthodontic devices (such as braces, veneers, or similar dental appliances) should be aware that these may be at risk of damage during general anesthesia.
Mild swelling and bruising may appear around the forehead and eyelids and usually improve within 7–10 days. After surgery, keep your head elevated above your chest while resting, and apply cold compresses for 3–4 days to help reduce swelling.
Avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can slow down the healing process. If unavoidable, please postpone them for at least 4 weeks. Avoid sleeping on your side for 4 weeks and maintain proper sleeping posture. Jogging, swimming, and lymphatic massage should be avoided for 6 weeks.
You may wash your face immediately after surgery; however, make sure that soap or water does not come into direct contact with the incision areas. Hair washing may be done gently starting from day 2. Avoid touching the incision area on the top of the scalp for 5 days, and the back of the scalp for 2 days.
Adequate rest is essential for recovery, and Vitamin C intake is recommended to support collagen regeneration and speed up healing.
For ENDO lifting procedures, the compression headband may be removed on day 2. After removal, continue wearing the compression headband for 1 week to help achieve optimal lifting results.
