Am I a Good Candidate for Facial Surgery?
If you have loose, sagging skin around the face, excess fat under the chin, or ears that stick out uncomfortably, you could be a good candidate for facial surgery. However, the best way to determine your candidacy is to schedule a consultation.
How is Facial Surgery Performed?
Each facial surgery is performed according to the needs of the patient and the desired final outcome. Our team will discuss the specifics of your unique procedure during your consultation.
What is Recovery Like After Facial Surgery?
After your facial surgery, you will likely need to take several days off work or school as your body begins to heal. During this time, you may experience some pain or discomfort, as well as bruising. During your consultation, our team will provide specific details on how to navigate your recovery.
How Long Will My Facial Surgery Results Last?
The results of your facial surgery are designed to be long-term. However, the body will continue to age. As it does, you may find the skin begins to sag. However, your facial surgery will slow down any future aging, so you can continue to look like your most youthful self for many years to come.
