Who is a good candidate for facial plastic surgery?
At Dr. Derek Steinbacher’s practice in Guilford, Connecticut, patients may ask if they are good candidates for facial plastic surgery. The answer depends on several factors, including overall health, age, and desired outcome. A consultation with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon is necessary to determine if an individual is a suitable candidate for the procedure they are interested in.
What is the recovery process like after facial plastic surgery?
This varies depending on the type of surgery performed. In general, patients can expect some swelling and bruising immediately following the procedure, which typically subsides within a few weeks.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications that patients should be aware of.
