FAQ

Common questions

When can I see my final results?

Most swelling resolves within 4–6 weeks, with final results visible at 3–6 months.

Will I have visible scars?

Incisions are placed in natural creases and minimized whenever possible. We provide a full scar-care protocol.

Is cosmetic surgery painful?

Discomfort is well controlled with modern anesthesia and prescribed pain management.

How long is the recovery?

It varies — from no downtime for non-surgical treatments to several weeks for major procedures.

Can I combine multiple procedures?

Often yes. Combination surgeries reduce total recovery time, but require careful surgical planning.

Am I a candidate?

Most healthy adults are candidates. A consultation is the only way to know for sure.

What anesthesia is used?

Local, twilight or general anesthesia depending on the procedure — always administered by board-certified anesthesiologists.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the procedure(s) and complexity. You'll receive a transparent quote at your consultation.

Do you offer financing?

Yes — see the financing section below for current options.

What if I live abroad?

We have a full medical-tourism program for international patients.

When can I exercise again?

Light activity in 1–2 weeks, full workouts typically at 4–6 weeks.

Will I need a caregiver?

For the first 24–48 hours after surgery, yes — a trusted adult companion.

See the checklist above — and your surgeon will provide personalized instructions.
