Frequently Asked Questions
Is cosmetic surgery safe? What are the risks?
Cosmetic surgery is generally safe when performed by qualified surgeons in accredited facilities. Risks vary by procedure but may include infection, scarring, and asymmetry. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks during consultation.
Can I combine multiple cosmetic procedures?
Yes, many patients combine procedures (e.g., facelift with eyelid surgery) to maximize results and minimize total recovery time. Your surgeon will advise on safe combinations based on your health.
How long do cosmetic surgery results last?
Results vary by procedure. Surgical procedures like facelifts and implants provide long-lasting results (10-20 years). Injectables require maintenance every 3-6 months. Hair transplants are permanent.
Will cosmetic surgery leave visible scars?
Modern techniques minimize scarring. Surgeons use hidden incisions when possible (e.g., behind the ear for facelifts). Scars fade significantly over time with proper care and typically become barely noticeable.
When can I see final results?
Initial results are visible immediately after swelling subsides (1-3 weeks). Final results typically appear at 6-12 weeks as swelling completely resolves and tissues settle into place.
