Essential for downtime! What's a face band?

 

A face band is essential after facial liposuction.

Keep the treated area firmly immobilized and compressed for 72 hours after surgery.

This is what it looks like with my hair down.

 

 

With a mask and hat, you'll barely stand out!

 

 

Here's how things looked on the actual first day after surgery.

It's like using a faceband to yank your face down, you know?

 

 

I will wear a mask to work.

 

 

With the hat on, the forehead cover is perfectly secured!

 

 

I personally recommend berets because they neatly conceal the faceband.

 

 

Due to the nature of my work, I resumed work the day after liposuction! I conducted the examination while wearing a face band.

(Don't push yourself too hard! Resume work gradually as you recover.)

 

 

In this way, by effectively combining masks and hats, you can still work or go out during the downtime after liposuction.
