The term “facial rejuvenation” refers to cosmetic procedures that restore a youthful and refreshed look to the face. When it comes to facial rejuvenation, many patients instantly think of undergoing a procedure in Los Angeles because of the image of movie stars, music artists and reality TV celebrities posing on red carpets and looking their “Hollywood best” both on stage and screen. Surgical facial rejuvenation procedures include options such a facelift, brow lift or eyelid surgery. There are also some nonsurgical treatments that can rejuvenate the appearance of the face including Botox, fillers and laser skin resurfacing. Now that we have mentioned some of the most popular treatments currently being practiced by doctors, let’s take a closer look at Los Angeles facial rejuvenation to learn more about how to prepare for a procedure and who is an ideal candidate for achieving a younger and more refreshed look.
Patients that are considering having a Los Angeles facial rejuvenation treatment might want to wait for one, or more, of the following signs of aging:
Ideal candidates for facial rejuvenation procedures include:
The first step in undergoing a facial rejuvenation procedure is scheduling a consultation appointment with a doctor that is experienced in providing natural looking results through a variety of facial rejuvenation techniques.
The doctor will discuss the desired final results with the patient to learn more about the goals of the person. The doctor will also examine the skin of the person to determine if the patient is an ideal facial rejuvenation candidate and if the desired final results are realistic. Finally, the medical professional will gather information about previous surgeries and any current medications that the patient is taking for a variety of conditions. Once the patient has all of this information, a plan can be made to perform the ideal facial rejuvenation procedure that will provide the desired look to the face.
In addition to the doctor asking the patient a series of questions, the consultation appointment is also an opportunity for the patient to ask questions about the treatment. Some of the most common questions that patients ask their doctor include:
Before having a treatment to refresh and revitalize the appearance of the face, patients should take any oral medications, gels, creams or lotions prescribed to them by the doctor. They should also stop smoking anywhere from two to six weeks before the procedure. Patients should avoid taking aspirin or certain anti-inflammatory drugs that can cause bleeding.
Most facial rejuvenation procedures are performed on an outpatient basis so patients will need to arrange for a ride home if they have an invasive surgical procedure like a facelift. If the patient knows there will be some medication administered to ensure a level of comfort during the procedure, a ride home should be arranged. While cosmetic treatments like Botox or dermal fillers have no downtime after the procedure, a surgical procedure such as a facelift will require patients to remain in a recovery area for a few hours for observation or they will need to stay in the hospital overnight to be monitored by the medical staff.
Facial rejuvenation procedures such as Botox and fillers have very few risks involved with the procedure. There might be some bruising and swelling and redness but these conditions will resolve on their own.
Some of the most common risks of a surgical procedure include:
Any concerns or questions about any steps involved in Los Angeles facial rejuvenation procedures, or anywhere else in the country, should be asked and addressed before having the treatment. An informed patient is one that is prepared with the necessary information about the pros and cons of the desired treatment. Plus, being informed about a treatment that refreshes the face gives a person a more confident feeling going into the treatment process. Facial rejuvenation gives a person a more youthful look and a better self-image since the patient is aware of the procedure steps as well as the expected final outcome of their desired treatment.
