How soon after a facelift can I get dental work done?

Terminally Vain
No less than 10 days, and of course, depending on how you're feeling. The optimal way to combine dental work with your plastic surgery is to arrange to arrive in Costa Rica one or two days prior to your surgery. Have Didi make an appointment for you with the dentist for the day you arrive in Costa Rica, and at that time the dentist will do the prep work for your porcelain crowns, inlays or veneers, mouth guard, teeth whitening, etc.

FAQ's - Rousso Facial Plastic Surgery Clinic and Aesthetic M...
Most patents can return to their normal activities within two weeks after a facelift procedure. It is best for patients not to turn their head for that initial two-week period and therefore it is not recommended that they drive during the two weeks after the facelift procedure. If that is not an issue, and the patient's work is not strenuous then there is no reason why they cannot return to work earlier than two weeks

How soon after a facelift can I color my hair?

Terminally Vain
Three to six weeks. If you have a forehead/brow lift you will want to wait closer to six weeks since you will not want to put harsh chemicals on your incisions too soon. Even if you just have a face and neck lift, you will still have incisions in your scalp and all around your ears. So, Dr. Lev recommends waiting the six weeks.

Similarly, with laparoscopic repair, you may go back to deskwork within a few days. If heavy lifting is required (greater than 20 – 25 lbs.), open repair patients may restrict this activity for 4 to 6 weeks. Patients with lapaoscopic repair usually can begin heavy lifting in two weeks.

Why and when do I have to take premedication for dental work?

faq
Pre-operative antibiotics are not always indicated before oral surgery. There are, however, a few medical situations in which antibiotics are needed before oral surgery can be performed. The reason for this is that pre-operative antibiotics may help prevent seeding of bacteria to the heart and thus help prevent an infection of the heart which is called Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis (SBE).

Question: Some people say their trigeminal pain started soon after dental work. Can that cause TN?

Trigeminal Neuralgia Association
Answer: (Steven Graff-Radford, D.D.S. TN Alert, Fall 1995) Invasive dental procedures do not cause TN, but they often can be the triggering factor that will initiate TN pain in a patient who is already predisposed to it. Answer: (Steven Graff-Radford, D.D.S. TN Alert, Fall 1995) The reason it isn't constant is because the amount and location of demyelination (loss of the nerve's protection coatings) is only sufficient to sensitize the nerve cell bodies.

What is a facelift?

New Horizon
Traditionally, facelift is designed to tighten the skin and raise it back up. Although in rare cases desirable results may be achieved by "skin only" tightening and repositioning, in most circumstances a more advanced approach is optimal. This involves not only skin layer surgery but also repositioning and tightening of the loose facial and neck musculature and fascia (SMAS). In most cases extra fat deposits in the neck are removed through the liposuction techniques.
