Facial Plastic Surgery

Medical treatments, including plastic surgery, are private matters. You don’t have to tell anyone in your personal or professional life about your cosmetic decisions if you don’t want to, but you may wish to tell a handful.

If you’re receiving a combination of facelift, neck lift, and eyelid lift surgery, it’s important to give yourself enough time to fully heal. This experience can… Continue Reading
