In facial plastic surgery, results will depend not only on the skill and experience of the surgeon, but also on attitude and health condition of the patient. Good health and realistic expectations are prerequisites. It is crucial for patients and doctors to discuss expectations before undergoing surgery. Be sure you and your surgeon clearly understand each other’s expectations.
You must know that it would be difficult to see immediate results. In the days following surgery, you may experience bruising and swelling. Swelling is normal and it takes some days to diminish.
In general, appearance should improve for as long as a year after the operation. If you are seeking to achieve realistic expectations, and the procedure and post-surgery phase have been thoroughly normal, then the procedure can be indeed a success. You must return to Dr. Espinosa’s office for some post-operative follow-up visits so that your healing and progress can be evaluated.
