Will I Be In Pain?
During your surgery, anesthesia ensures you are comfortable and without pain. For most procedures you will be asleep for the entire time. After surgery you will be prescribed medication for any discomfort. These symptoms usually subside within a matter of days.
Will Everyone Recognize I Had Surgery?
Usually not. Good facial plastic surgery looks natural, and not overly sculpted. People will often ask if you have been on vacation, lost weight, or been exercising. Typically, they will not know unless you share it with them.
Will There Be Scars?
You will have scars, but they are not usually noticeable. We make every effort to keep scars to a minimum and hide them in natural lines and creases in your skin. Over the course of time, your scars will fade and become barely noticeable.
How Soon Can I Return to Work?
It depends greatly on the procedure. Most surgical procedures, however, will allow you to return to work within seven to ten days.
How Long Does It Take?
Most procedures take only a few hours, are performed on an outpatient basis, and require no overnight stay. You will be in recovery for a few hours, and a friend or relative will escort you home to recover in your own bed.
Will Insurance Cover It?
Since cosmetic surgery is elective, most insurance plans do not cover it. There are exceptions, and if your procedure is medically necessary, our office will be happy to contact your insurance company.
