Facial rejuvenation: the art and science of cosmetic surgery

Our objective is to present an overall, customized treatment plan for the patient to address his or her concerns in the most comprehensive way possible. We then allow the patient to choose if he or she would like to have this done with one procedure and one recovery period. This one treatment may put the patient far enough ahead of the aging curve that they may never desire another surgery. The patient could also choose to have the surgery broken up into multiple treatments in a more piecemeal fashion. This would necessitate multiple recovery periods and during the intervening time, there may be an artistic mismatch between the rejuvenated area that has been treated and adjacent untreated areas that still manifest all the signs of the aging process. The choice is left to the patient.
