How to Clean Incisions After A Deep Plane Facelift
Gently clean away any blood, crusts, or scabs using a cotton-tipped applicator moistened with water or hydrogen peroxide. After cleaning, apply a thin layer of a gentle ointment, such as Aquaphor®, to keep the incisions moist and help prevent additional crusting. Dr. Kolstad recommends cleaning the incisions 3–5 times per day, or as needed, to keep the area clean during the healing process.
Apply firm pressure with your fingertips or thumbs beneath the chin. The firmness in the submental area is typically caused by temporary inflammation and swelling within the muscles during the healing process. Performing firm lymphatic massage with steady fingertip pressure can help reduce this inflammation, soften the area, and promote more rapid resolution of swelling.
