To make this easy, Dr. Imber has outlined a variety of surgical and esthetic procedures that can help you reach your goals by show time. However, it’s important to consider that a customized plan is always best and everyone responds differently to everything.
Treatment: No Peel Peel
Downtime: You may be red for a few hours but most patients aren’t and can apply makeup right away. You won’t experience any peeling so this is great to prep skin 2 days before a big event!
Procedure: Botox
Downtime: This wrinkle reducer freezes muscles but does take 2 weeks to settle in. Consider this treatment at least a month before the big event to account for any adjustments.
Procedure: Fillers
Downtime: Fillers help replace volume loss in areas like cheeks, lips and under-eyes (tear-troughs). While results can be seen almost immediately, keep in mind that even the introduction of a needle can cause bruising and black and blue so do what you have to do at least 3 weeks before the big day.
Procedure: Microsuction
Downtime: This surgical procedure is the most efficient way to remove excess fat underneath the chin area. Dr. Imber often pairs this with a Fat Transfer if needed. Expect recovery to be 2-3 days and full results approximately 6-8 weeks.
