Being a candidate depends on your overall health, aesthetic goals, and a prior medical evaluation. Surgeons review your medical history, habits, facial anatomy, and expectations to determine whether the procedure is safe and appropriate for you. A professional consultation is the first step in identifying the right treatment..

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure: from 5–7 days for simpler surgeries to 2–4 weeks for more complex procedures such as a facelift or rhinoplasty. Following your surgeon’s instructions, avoiding sun exposure, and attending all follow-up appointments help ensure a faster and safer recovery.

Results can be long-lasting, but they depend on the type of surgery, your natural aging process, and your lifestyle. Some procedures offer permanent results (such as rhinoplasty), while others may require maintenance over time, such as rejuvenation treatments.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks such as swelling, bruising, infection, or temporary discomfort. Choosing a board-certified surgeon, ensuring safe medical facilities, and following all pre- and postoperative instructions significantly reduces any risks.

Most patients return to light activities within a few days and resume their normal routine within 1–2 weeks, depending on the procedure. Strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and physical activities should be avoided until your surgeon advises otherwise.
