Most patients notice initial healing within the first 7 to 10 days after a lip lift. Stitches are typically removed about a week following surgery, and swelling or bruising begins to subside shortly thereafter. By two weeks, many patients feel comfortable returning to social activities, although subtle swelling may continue for several weeks. Final refinement of the incision and scar blending into the natural crease under the nose usually occurs over the next few months. When performed by Dr. Ghazizadeh, the recovery process is closely monitored with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth healing experience and natural-looking results.

Yes. Dr. Ghazizadeh is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, and every rhinoplasty she performs addresses both cosmetic and functional goals. Her approach ensures that while the shape and balance of the nose are refined for aesthetic harmony, nasal breathing and structural support are also improved. This comprehensive method provides patients with natural-looking results that enhance overall facial appearance while maintaining or restoring proper function.

For many patients, a deep plane facelift is considered the gold standard for achieving long-lasting, natural results. Unlike traditional facelifts that focus only on tightening the skin, the deep plane technique repositions the underlying muscles and soft tissues for a more youthful, yet natural appearance. Dr. Ghazizadeh specializes in this advanced technique to restore facial harmony without an over-pulled look.

Most patients are able to resume light activities within 10 to 14 days after facelift surgery. Swelling and bruising typically improve within 2 to 3 weeks, while final results continue to refine over several months. Dr. Ghazizadeh provides detailed aftercare guidance and close follow-up to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal outcome.
