Cosmetic Surgeries for the Seasons
Today, the world of cosmetic surgery is growing rapidly, with increasing numbers of people seeking life-changing treatments every year. However, with so many treatments from which to choose these days, it may seem difficult to determine which procedure is best for you. In particular, you may not know if a minimally invasive treatment will be able to get you the results you want or if you should opt for a more invasive surgical treatment. Here are some questions that you can ask yourself as you make your decision.
How Big Is the Problem?
First, you must determine whether you are dealing with a major or a minor problem. For example, if you have allowed the wrinkles on your face to grow and deepen over the last couple of decades, you may be best served by a more invasive procedure that can correct major damage. However, if you are just beginning to notice a problem, a minimally invasive procedure, such as Botox or dermal filler injections, could be all that you need.
Are You Looking for a Small or a Large Change?
In general, minimally invasive procedures provide noticeable yet minimal changes. They look incredibly natural and generally smooth away or minimize existing issues. On the other hand, surgical procedures can produce larger changes, getting rid of sagging skin permanently, stretching out wrinkled skin and even erasing ten years or more from the look of your face.
Are You Looking for a Temporary or a Permanent Change?
Most minimally invasive procedures produce temporary results and must be redone regularly. On the other hand, surgical procedures produce permanent changes that turn back the hands of time without stopping the aging process.
Do You Have the Time to Dedicate to Recovery?
If you are a very busy adult with little to no time to dedicate to a recovery period, a minimally invasive procedure will be best for you. Many surgical procedures require you to take several days or even a couple weeks off work as you wait for the pain to abate and swelling to decrease.
As you make your decision, be sure to chat with a knowledgeable cosmetic surgery professional who will be able to determine what type of procedure would best meet your needs. In the Newport Beach area, contact Dr. Tavoussi of the OC Cosmetic Surgery Clinique for a consultation.
