What Are Some Facial Plastic Surgery Basics?
Facial plastic surgery is a specialty that primarily involves the reconstruction, alteration or rejuvenation of your face and neck. It’s a type of cosmetic surgery that focuses on enhancing your appearance by correcting various facial and neck features that you may deem undesirable or aging. And face it, you can’t disguise your face with baggy clothes like you can an unflattering behind. Face surgery procedures are divided into two main categories:
- Reconstructive facial plastic surgery involves restoring normal facial structures and functions, lost or damaged due to birth defects, injuries, burns or disease. Examples include repairing facial fractures, treating facial paralysis or removing skin cancer.
- Facial cosmetic surgery focuses on enhancing the appearance of your face and neck by improving facial symmetry, contour and proportions.

Why Should I Consider Facial Plastic Surgery?
Facial surgery is a personal decision that requires careful consideration of the potential benefits and risks. The decision to undergo facial plastic surgery should be based on your individual goals and motivations for the procedure. Meet with one of the best facial plastic surgeons to discuss your options. The most common reasons that men and women undergo face surgery include:
- Improving physical appearance. Facial plastic surgery improves facial features that you’re unhappy with. This may include changing the shape of your nose, reducing the appearance of wrinkles or improving the overall symmetry of your face.
- Boosting self-confidence. Many people report feeling more confident after undergoing facial plastic surgery. If you’re self-conscious about your appearance, facial cosmetic surgery may help you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
- Correcting functional issues. In some cases, facial surgery is necessary to correct functional issues, such as breathing difficulties or vision problems caused by a drooping eyelid.
- Restoring a more youthful appearance. As you age, your skin loses elasticity and begins to sag. Facial plastic surgery restores a more youthful appearance by tightening loose skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

How Should I Prepare for Face Surgery?
Most face surgery are outpatient procedures. Since Dr. Shokrian prefers to do most of his procedures as awake surgeries, you don’t have to deal with the effects or risks involved with general anesthesia. To prepare for your life-changing procedure, your Manhattan doctor explains everything to you prior to the day of surgery. Your list of instructions may include:
- Undergoing lab or imaging tests your NYC surgeon requires
- Taking an antibiotic or another medication to improve your outcome
- Stopping other medications that may interfere with healing, such as blood thinners
- Quitting smoking for at least two weeks prior and after the surgery
- Arranging for someone to drive you home and stay with you for at least 24 hours
After your procedure, Dr. Shokrian provides a list of instructions for your recovery, which may take between two and six months to fully show your results. Tips include:
- Learning how and when to change your dressings
- Refraining from any sun exposure for at least a month
- Keeping the area that was worked on clean
- Visiting your surgeon for a follow-up appointment deemed ideal for your procedure
