Q: What Is Liposuction Recovery Like?

A: Following your liposuction procedure, you will be placed in a compression garment or elastic bandage that will be worn for approximately 4 weeks. This helps to control swelling and compress the skin. Small drains may be placed in the incisions to remove any excess blood or fluid. Most people return to work in 3 to 5 days and feel even better after about a week or 2.

Q: Can Eyelid Surgery Be Combined with Other Procedures?

A: Often combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, dermal fillers like JUVÉDERM®, brow lift or even facelift surgery. Eyelid surgery is incredibly successful in creating a younger, more alert appearance in patients. During your consultation Dr. Ben Kirbo, Dr. Laurence Rosenberg or Dr. Chris DeRosier will assess your facial rejuvenation options and determine if eyelid surgery is the best bet for you.

Q: How Does BOTOX Work?

A: BOTOX is a neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin A. When expertly injected into specific muscles, it relaxes them and prevents them from contracting. An experienced and skilled injector can stop the movement of only the targeted muscles, meaning you won’t have a frozen or unnatural look and will still be able to express yourself naturally.
