If you’re interested in having plastic surgery, the recovery process may seem daunting. It’s normal to have a whole slew of concerns about everything from pain management and activity restrictions, to caregiver responsibilities and follow-up appointments. 

Medical problems are commonplace. Nearly everyone experiences them at one point or another. Although they’re far from fun, they should not deter you from pursuing your goals or living life on your terms—nor from seeking cosmetic surgery. 

One of the concerns we hear from patients most often is, “How long will my facial plastic surgery last?” The truth is, the answer can vary based on numerous factors like your age, lifestyle, and the proactive steps you take to maintain your fabulous results.

Plastic surgery is an exciting endeavor for countless men and women seeking ways to look and feel their best. However, there are many important considerations to contemplate before moving forward with your procedure of choice.

If you think facial plastic surgery is just for women, think again: Facial plastic surgery for men has been on the rise in recent years, with more and more men of all ages exploring procedures to help them look as good as they feel. 

Do you love your body but hate your thighs? If so, you’re far from alone; even the most confident individuals have one or two things they’d like to improve about their appearance, and for many people, “flabby” thighs is one of them.

Our cheeks help achieve facial balance and harmony, creating soft shadows that add attractive contours and definition to the face. However, as we mature, our cheeks can naturally lose volume and sag, which often results in a hollow, sunken-in appearance that’s missing its youthful plumpness.

Many of the patients that we see for facial cosmetic surgery opt to have more than one procedure done at once—and there are many benefits to taking that approach. We’ve noticed that when patients move forward with only part of their recommended treatment plan, they’re sometimes not fully satisfied. Dr. Clevens, our specialist in facial plastic surgery, often compares getting one procedure done at a time to painting only half a room in your house. The job would be left unfinished and you would be far from satisfied with the results, right?

Living in a society with technology at your fingertips, you have the ability to constantly see people living their best lives and browse pictures of your younger or more fit self. These continuous reminders may have you wondering about different ways you can improve yourself. Or perhaps you know exactly what you want to change, but aren’t sure the best way to move forward and make your dreams become a reality.

Thanks to modern techniques and technologies, plastic surgery is now safer than ever. An increasing number of men and women seek out cosmetic face and body procedures each year to revitalize and refresh their appearance.
