If I want to get a lift before an important event, how many weeks should I usually leave?

I have a lot of photos to take next month, so I'm thinking about getting a lift.

I didn't really pay much attention to it before, but now that my schedule is set, I'm suddenly starting to notice my skin elasticity and facial contours lol.

The problem is that this is my first time getting a lift.

I heard that some types show immediate results while others improve gradually over a few weeks, so I'm not sure how to schedule a date.

Based on an important schedule, how far in advance is it generally best to get a lift?

I am also wondering if a week in advance is sufficient, or if it would be safer to leave some time, perhaps two or three weeks.

I want to avoid swelling or redness that lingers for a long time.

I am also wondering if there are types that show a little bit right after the procedure but go away by the next day.

I also want to know if I can apply makeup right after getting a lift.

And is there a specific time when the effect looks the prettiest?

If it settles more naturally over time than on the day of the procedure, I think I should do it a little in advance to coincide with an important day.

If this is my first lifting procedure, would it be better to get it done well in advance to check my skin's reaction, rather than rushing to get it done right before my scheduled appointment?

I just want it to look a little more solid and organized in the photo, so I don't need excessive effects.

If anyone has had a lifting procedure before a photoshoot, trip, or important appointment, I am curious to know how far in advance you found it most satisfying.

I would appreciate it if you could share both the recovery period and when the effects will show through your actual experience haha.
