The best time to schedule a procedure depends on the downtime associated with that procedure and how long you should expect to wait for the best results.

For example, Botox® Cosmetic requires almost no downtime, but the effects typically take a day or two to become noticeable, and you should expect a 7 to 10 day wait for full results. You can expect immediate results from facial fillers, such as Restylane® and Juvederm®, but (depending on the area injected) there may be some bruising and swelling, so you should allow at least 3 days for recovery. You should plan on a 2 to 4 week wait for best results following a mini-facelift or a minimally-invasive surgical procedure to tighten skin around the eye.

“The goal is to look natural and refreshed without showing any signs of having work done,” says Jonathan Sykes, MD, President of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

That’s precisely what Drs. Keith LaFerriere and Matt Kienstra always say…If it doesn’t look natural, it doesn’t look good.
