To get around
the Facelift World most easily, we have organized the many issues
involved in preparing and recovering from a facelift into major
topic areas (which we refer to as “Rooms”). The following
are detailed descriptions for each room that appears in the Facelift
World:
Become
enlightened with the deepest, clearest, most accurate and honest
understanding of the symptoms, issues, problems, complications,
risks, and everything else that may occur during your healing journey.
Each symptom/issue is treated to a day-by-day analysis of how it
evolves, how its look and feel change over time, whether the symptom/issue
is noticeable to the eye, does it hurt, what facial areas may be
affected, what the scientific causes of the symptom/issue may be,
and how the symptom/issue may emotionally impact patients who
experience it. With this understanding in place, this room then
offers you a wide array of tried-and-tested solutions, tips and
guidelines for addressing and treating the symptom/issue at different
timeframes in the journey. The discussion for each symptom/issue
is divided into timeframes (i.e. day 0 post-op, day 1, days 2-3,
days 4-7, days 8-14, etc.), so that you may easily find what the
symptom/issue may be like at any given period in your journey and
know what you can do to treat it at that point in time.
As
road bumps may occur along the healing journey, this room will also
make you aware of rare but potential complications and
risks that may happen during or after your surgery. Our comprehensive
discussion on every complication/risk focuses on explaining what
it is, why it may occur, why it may be dangerous or harmful, what
are the chances of experiencing the complication/risk, when and
where it is most likely to occur, what the warning signs may look
and feel like, how the complication may evolve, and how it has affected
fellow facelifters emotionally. Then the discussion goes on to explain
what preventive steps can be taken to avoid or lessen one's chances
of having the complication, as well as the treatments (first-aid,
non-surgical, and surgical) that may be undertaken to treat a complication
in the event it occurs.
Fly
down to this room for a beauty make-over and make-smarter about
the many changes and adjustments you will need to make to your facial
beauty routines (skincare, makeup, hair care, facial hair care,
and more) before and after your facelift, how to conduct these routines
in the most healing-friendly ways during post-op, what beauty product
brands are recommended to use before and after your procedure, and
what beauty-related preparations should be done in advance of surgery.
As
symptoms (bruising discolorations, swelling, scars, and lumps and
bumps) may continue to linger on your face/neck after you need to
go back out to the real world, you will also be able to learn about
various tried tried-and-tested camouflage makeup techniques that
are effective in hiding them, as well as walk through all the steps
involved in each method, and specific makeup brands that may be
used. This room also discusses numerous beauty practices, appliances,
and accessories that should be avoided during your journey and provides
you with suggested timeframes for when you may safely return to
them again.
Shampoo
your way over to this room and gain an insider's understanding of
the numerous changes you will need to make to your hygiene and personal
care routines (showering, face/neck care, hair care, oral care,
and bathroom hygiene), the best and safest ways to do these rituals,
what product brands are recommended, how to reorganize your bathroom
and make it healing-proof, and other hygiene-related preparations
that should be made before the surgery. This room provides a deep
focus on how to care for your incisions and wounds, and provides
a comprehensive discussion on specialized techniques and products
that may be used to improve scar healing and minimize scar appearance.
This room will also educate you about all the things you should
do and what you should avoid doing when it comes to performing your
hygiene and personal care rituals.
Take
a voyage to this room and check up on what you need to do and what
you should avoid doing as far as activities, movements, behaviors
and any other ritual or habit that is part of a patient’s normal
daily life. This room is divided by timeframes (i.e. day 0 post-op,
day 1, days 2-3, days 4-7, days 8-14, etc.), so that you may easily
find what the "DOs" and "DON’Ts" are at
any given period in your journey.
Go
for a picnic in this room and learn about how to best nourish yourself
in the weeks before surgery to build up your body's defenses and
maximize its healing potential. You will also find appetizing ideas
for post-op meals you can prepare and get practical tips on how
to reorganize your kitchen, refrigerator, and cabinets to make your
life as simple and pleasant as possible during recovery. Once you
get through these first few courses, you can then get your fill
with an understanding of how your condition and certain symptoms
and issues associated with your recovery will impact what and how
you eat, what particular foods, drinks, and meals are best to nourish
yourself with during different time periods in your post-op journey,
and what are the best ways to eat and drink without disturbing the
healing process. And for desert, you can learn about the many foods,
beverages, and food supplements that should be avoided before and
after your surgery.
Get
your home into the spirit of change by picking up sage advice on
practical preparations, changes, and any reorganizing that you may
need to do prior to your procedure in every area of your home (healing
room, bathroom, kitchen, living room, car, etc.) so that you can
have the most comfortable, hassle-free, and safest recovery. In
this room, you can also learn about what items, amenities, and other
vitals you may need to stock each area of your home with and where
to place these items. This is the spot to drive to if you want to
get wiser about the steps that should be taken to make your home
healing-proof and to morph it into the perfect recovery nest.
Take
the alternative route to healing by learning about effective natural
and homeopathic remedies that journeywomen and men have used to reduce,
minimize, and in some cases even avoid symptoms and issues that
can occur during recovery (swelling, bruising, nausea, constipation,
sleeplessness, etc.). In this room, you will also be able to empower
yourself with knowledge about natural products that may be used
to promote tissue repair, improve scar healing, and help minimize
scar appearance. In this room, you will also learn about which vitamins,
minerals and supplements can be taken during pre-op and post-op
to strengthen your body, improve your ability to heal, and potentially
enable you to have a better and faster recovery. For a final bit
of enlightenment, you will also be able to find out about the many
natural products that you need to avoid before and after surgery.
Get
a healthy dose about the various categories of prescribed and over-the-counter
medications (antibiotics, pain, anti-nausea, constipation, and anti-anxiety
meds, etc.) that may possibly accompany your journey and help make
it more comfortable, safe, and happy. Our discussion on each type
of medication will educate you about the drug's healing benefits,
how you should administer your medication, typical start and stop
dates for taking the medication, ranges on recommended dosages,
activities that should be avoided while taking the drug, potential
side effects and drug interactions, and other relevant issues. As
a final part of your checkup, you can also learn about the various
medications and products that you may need to avoid taking before
and after your surgery.
