FAQs
Is this procedure painful?
Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort rather than acute pain. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage any discomfort during the initial recovery period.
How long until I see final results?
While initial changes are visible within weeks, the final refined results typically take several months as the body continues to heal and settle.
Will I have visible scars?
Our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring. Most incisions are placed in natural creases or inconspicuous locations, and scars typically fade over time.
