Albuquerque plastic surgeon discusses why you need someone with you after a facelift.

Do I need somebody with me after a facelift?

You must have somebody with you for the first twenty four hours after a facelift. You must not be alone. Although serious complications are rare you will need help if a problem arises. 

If this is impossible for you then consider staying in a local bed and breakfast with comprehensive room service so a friendly face can check in on you frequently. Dr. Hudson’s office can often help you find a B & B. 

Nursing agencies can also provide 24 hour attendants.

There is no substitute for having a close friend or relative to help you.
