Your treatment plan
Consultation includes examination, medical photography and discussion of your goal. Technique, anaesthesia and any combined procedures are chosen only after a complete assessment.
Recovery and outcome
Temporary swelling, bruising, tightness or altered sensation may occur. Return to activities and maturation of the result are gradual and depend on the extent of surgery.
