    If your facelift patient is from out of town, do you recommend staying one or several nights in St. Louis after the procedure? I live 3 hours south of St. Louis.

    Thank you.

  2. Hello and thank you for your question.

    When patients live within driving distance, I'd recommend staying overnight for the first night after surgery. I will remove your dressing and perform a checkup on the morning after surgery; you may return home at that point until your one week checkup.

    For patients that fly in for surgery, I require that they stay in St. Louis for 7 days after surgery.

    Best,

    Mike Nayak
