Who is this surgery for?
- Presence of moderate to severe static wrinkles (visible at rest) on the face, such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or forehead lines.
- Dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements, like frown lines or crow's feet.
- Generalized skin laxity and loss of elasticity in the face and neck region.
- Sun damage, fine lines, and textural irregularities on the skin's surface.
- Patient desire for facial rejuvenation and a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
- Asymmetry or undesirable contours that can be improved with volume restoration or tissue tightening.
How to prepare
- Initial consultation with the surgeon to discuss goals, medical history, and suitable procedure options.
- Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications, supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, ginkgo), and smoking as advised by the surgeon, typically 2 weeks prior.
- Arranging for transportation and post-procedure assistance, especially for surgical treatments.
- Avoiding sun exposure and tanning to minimize skin irritation and complications.
- Completing any prescribed pre-operative medical tests or clearances.
- Following specific dietary or skincare instructions provided by the surgical team.
Risks & possible complications
- Common temporary side effects: swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, and itching at the treatment site.
- Infection, bleeding, or hematoma formation (more common with surgical procedures).
- Adverse reactions to anesthesia (for surgical options).
- Scarring, although surgeons use techniques to minimize visibility.
- Asymmetry, over-correction, or under-correction requiring potential touch-ups.
- Nerve injury potentially leading to temporary or, rarely, permanent muscle weakness or numbness.
- Skin irregularities, discoloration (hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation), or texture changes.
- Unsatisfactory aesthetic results or the need for revision surgery.
Recovery & hospital stay
- For injectables (Botox/fillers): Minimal downtime; avoid rubbing the area, strenuous exercise, and excessive heat for 24-48 hours.
- For laser/peels: Expect redness and peeling for several days; strict sun protection and gentle skincare are crucial.
- For surgical procedures: Initial rest with head elevation to reduce swelling. Manage discomfort with prescribed medication.
- Keep incisions clean and dry, following specific wound care instructions. Sutures are typically removed within 5-10 days.
- Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and bending over for at least 2-3 weeks post-surgery.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing and results.
- Final results from surgical procedures become fully apparent after swelling subsides, which can take several months.

Aditya Mehta, 58, is a senior...
Aditya Mehta, 58, is a senior partner at a prestigious Mumbai law firm. For years, his sharp mind and commanding presence in the courtroom defined him. However, after a stressful merger, he noticed deep furrows etched between his brows and pronounced lines across his forehead that made him look perpetually angry and exhausted, even when he felt calm. In client meetings, he felt people were reacting to his 'resting scowl' rather than his words. His dermatologist, Dr. Kapoor, recommended neuromodulator injections (like Botox) to soften the dynamic lines caused by decades of intense concentration and stress. The procedure itself was quick, with minimal discomfort from tiny pinpricks. Aditya was back at his desk within the hour. Over the next two weeks, the deep creases softened dramatically. The angry, tired look was gone, replaced by his natural, thoughtful expression. Emotionally, he felt a profound sense of alignment, his external appearance now matched his internal vitality and experience, restoring his confidence in high-stakes professional settings.
