is extremely controlled and predictable.
- The laser treatment also tightens the skin.
- Most patients will undergo preoperative skin conditioning
to reduce postoperative pigmentary changes.
Recuperation and healing
- You will be seen by our skin care specialist and will
be provided with a package of the entire necessary postoperative
medication regimen. Specific instructions about each
of these are provided.
- Depending on the location, for the first 24 hours
the areas are covered with a tape
like material.
- The above postoperative treatment will prevent formation
of a crust or scab. Healing will be complete in 7-10
days.
- Redness (pink color) will usually last 1-3 weeks depending
on your complexion. Provided in the postoperative package
is medically formulated make up that can fully cover
the fading pink color of the skin during the recuperation
time.
- Some redness can persist for 30 days.

lift), Facelift, Rhinoplasty, Cheek Implants, etc. can
