During the initial consultation, we thoroughly assess the patient's facial structure and discuss their desired outcome. This is an essential step as it helps us determine whether cheekbone reduction is the right procedure for them. We take this time to educate the patient about the surgical process, potential risks, and expected recovery period.
In some cases, additional appointments may be necessary to further evaluate the patient's eligibility for the surgery. These appointments may involve detailed imaging tests, such as CT scans, to get a better understanding of the underlying bone structure and ensure that the procedure will achieve the desired results. We also discuss the patient's medical history, including any pre-existing conditions or previous surgeries, to ensure their safety during the procedure.
Once it is determined that the patient is a suitable candidate for cheekbone reduction, we schedule the surgery. This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. The surgery itself usually takes a few hours, during which we carefully reshape and reduce the prominence of the cheekbones to achieve a more balanced and harmonious facial appearance.
Following the surgery, there will be a series of post-operative appointments to monitor the patient's healing progress. These appointments allow us to assess the effectiveness of the surgery, address any concerns or complications that may arise, and provide guidance for optimal recovery. It is essential for patients to strictly adhere to the post-operative instructions and attend these appointments to ensure a successful outcome.
Overall, the number of appointments before a cheekbone reduction surgery can vary from patient to patient. However, it is crucial to remember that each appointment serves a specific purpose in ensuring the patient's safety and providing them with the best possible results. Our primary objective as facial plastic surgeons is to prioritize patient care and satisfaction, and we are committed to guiding our patients through every step of their transformation journey.
