I’m a runner and am physically active almost every day of the week.

Question:
I’m a runner and am physically active almost every day of the week. I’m planning on having a facelift within the next 3 months and was wondering how long until I could run again after the surgery?

Answer:
The policy in our practice is to avoid strenuous activity for 2 weeks. After that the healing face will tolerate the stress of full aerobic exercise. I would start slow and build up to your usual activity level.
