Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common concerns and their answers.
Is plastic surgery safe?
Since plastic surgery involves invasive techniques like incisions, tissue manipulation, and tissue removal, the patient must follow specific instructions before and after surgery to ensure smooth recovery. Complications are rare, and most patients don’t experience any difficulty.
Does facelifting leave scars?
While any surgical procedure involves an incision, skilled plastic surgeons place them strategically to minimize visibility. For a facelift, incisions are typically hidden within the hairline, behind the ear, and in the natural creases of the face. With proper aftercare and healing, the resulting scars usually fade significantly over time, becoming barely noticeable. We will discuss scar management techniques with you during your consultation.
What is recovery time after cosmetic treatments like?
Recovery time varies greatly depending on the specific procedure (e.g., non-surgical treatment vs. major surgery). For non-invasive treatments, downtime might be minimal (a few hours to a day). For surgical procedures, initial recovery often takes 1 to 2 weeks (when sutures are removed and major swelling subsides), with full final results and complete healing taking several months. We provide detailed, personalized recovery timelines for every patient.
Can I combine treatments?
Yes, combining certain procedures is a very common and effective approach, often referred to as a "combination" or "mommy makeover" surgery. Combining treatments, such as a facelift with an eyelid lift, or a tummy tuck with liposuction, can maximize results and allow for a single recovery period. Your surgeon will evaluate your overall health and goals to determine which combination of treatments is safe and appropriate for you.
How long do results last?
The longevity of results is highly dependent on the type of procedure. For surgical treatments like a facelift or breast augmentation, results are long-lasting, often enduring for 10-15 years or more, though the natural aging process will continue. For non-surgical treatments like fillers or BOTOX, results are temporary and usually last 6 to 18 months, requiring periodic maintenance to sustain the desired look.
