Face and neck lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes 3 to 5 hours. Post-operatively, the face and neck area is bandaged and pain, swelling, bruising and temporary numbness may occur. After the surgery, the scars diminish over time and the person can usually return to work after two weeks.
