Beauty And The Surgeon

It's gonna take two episodes to tell you everything you need to know about getting a facelift! In Part 1, Dr. Martin and Amy go over what a facelift can and can't do, the different types of facelifts, who’s a candidate, and questions to ask your surgeon at your pre-surgery appointments. Questions for your surgeon at your consultation: Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? Am I a good candidate for this procedure? What surgical technique is recommended for me? Where and how will you perform my surgery? What are the risks and potential complications with a facelift? How are complications handled? How can I expect my face to look/age over time? Questions for your surgeon at your preop: Where will I be taken after surgery? Overnight stay? What medication will I be given or prescribed? Will I have dressings/bandages when I leave the hospital? When will they be removed? When will the drains and stitches be removed? When can I wash my face, shower, wash my hair? When can I cut/color my hair?
