Treatment plan before plastic surgery

After you’ve submitted your inquiry, we will send our feedback within few hours (in working hours within 1 hour, out of working hours within 24 hours). We provide basic information about possible treatment for your case, approximate price and all info you need to know before plastic surgery.

However, online consultation plan might be totally changed after 1:1 live consultation in clinic. Especially in case of re-op cases, as it is almost impossible to check condition online. So, it is important to provide as much as possible info to us in advance, to avoid drastic changes in treatment plan in future.

Factors to check before plastic surgery:

• Filler. If you ever have had filler, whatever it was injected 3 month ago or 3 years ago. Even hyaluronic based fillers does not get dissolve totally, so it can affect treatment plan and surgery process as well. If filler was injected in related to surgery area it should be dissolved at least 3 days prior surgery, but best is 1 week.
• Collagen simulator (booster). Nowadays Radiesse, Juvelook, Sculptra and etc. injections promising to fix face volume and help to get rid of wrinkles. This injections beside their outstanding effect have one significant minus – delayed onset nodule (DON). Delayed onset nodule (DON)is a visible or palpable unintended mass that occurs at or close to the injection site of dermal filler or collagen simulator injection. However, if hyaluronic dermal filler can be easily dissolved by hyalarodase, collagen simulator cannot be. So, be sure that you informed your clinic about any treatment above.
• Related plastic surgery history. Previous fat transfer / liposuction/ face lift and etc. The treatment plan, approach and price is totally different for first surgery and for reconstruction one.
