At Nodwell Plastic Surgery, we believe each patient's journey is unique. Ideal candidates are typically in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about their results.
During your personal consultation, Dr. Nodwell will carefully evaluate your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and help determine if this procedure aligns with your needs. We welcome patients of various ages and backgrounds who are committed to their well-being and seeking positive change.
Several weeks before surgery, you'll need to stop smoking and avoid certain medications that can increase bleeding risk. We recommend arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure and assist you during the initial recovery period.
Our team will guide you through any necessary medical evaluations and help you prepare your home for a comfortable recovery.
Recovery timelines vary depending on the specific procedure and individual healing factors. Most patients can return to light activities within 1-2 weeks, though complete recovery may take several weeks to months.
During your initial recovery period, you may experience some swelling and discomfort, which we'll help manage with appropriate medication and care instructions. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative support, with regular follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress.
At Nodwell Plastic Surgery, we utilize advanced surgical techniques to minimize visible scarring. While some scarring is inevitable with any surgical procedure, we carefully plan incision locations to be as discreet as possible, often placing them within natural skin folds or easily concealed areas.
With proper care, most scars fade significantly over time. We'll provide you with detailed scar management instructions and recommend appropriate products to optimize your healing process.
