Most Frequently Asked Questions
How is the procedure performed?
The surgeon makes small incisions near the hairline or the lower eyelids, lifts the underlying facial tissues, and repositions them to achieve a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Is the surgery painful?
Mild to moderate discomfort is expected, but it can be managed with prescribed medications. Swelling and tightness in the cheeks and around the eyes are common during the first few days.
Will there be any scarring?
Yes, but they are usually well hidden along the hairline or the natural crease of the lower eyelid, and they fade significantly over time.
How long do the results last?
Results typically last 7–10 years, depending on factors such as skin type, the natural aging process, and lifestyle habits like sun exposure and smoking.
What are the risks?
Risks include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, numbness, scarring, asymmetry, or dissatisfaction with the results. Choosing a qualified and experienced surgeon significantly reduces these risks.
When will I see the final results?
As the swelling decreases, improvement becomes noticeable within a few weeks. Full, natural-looking results typically appear within 2–3 months.
