Facial Plastic Surgery – What You Need to Know
Facial plastic surgery is a specialized branch of plastic surgery focused on enhancing appearance and, in some cases, restoring the function of the face, head, and neck. It can be performed for cosmetic purposes to improve overall profile, or for reconstructive reasons to correct injuries, birth defects, or medical conditions.
Today, facial plastic surgery is one of the most sought-after types of procedures. It allows individuals to address signs of aging, effects of injury, or features they may find undesirable. Many people choose these procedures to restore or rejuvenate facial areas affected by injury or disease, or to refine features that have been present since birth.

Types of Facial Plastic Surgery
Facial procedures are generally divided into two main categories:
Reconstructive Facial Surgery
This type of surgery focuses on restoring normal facial structure and functions that have been affected by:
- Birth defects
- Trauma or injuries
- Disease or infections
- Burns
Common procedures include repairing facial fractures, treating facial paralysis, and removing skin cancer.
Cosmetic Facial Surgery
Cosmetic procedures are designed to enhance the appearance of the face and neck by improving:
- Facial symmetry
- Contours and definition
- Overall proportions
At Millennial Plastic Surgery, Dr. David Shokrian and Dr. Mohamed Elfar are dedicated to helping patients achieve their best self with confidence. With extensive training in both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures, they combine surgical expertise, advanced techniques, and a compassionate approach to deliver safe, personalized care tailored to each individual’s unique facial features and desired outcomes.

Why Should I Consider Facial Plastic Surgery?
Unlike other areas of the body, your face cannot be concealed with clothing. It is the most visible and expressive part of your body, and it plays a key role in how you present yourself to the world. It is also closely connected to your confidence, influencing how you feel about yourself and your overall quality of life.
Facial plastic surgery offers the opportunity to enhance your natural features, restore balance and symmetry, and address issues caused by aging, genetics, or trauma, helping you look and feel more composed and assured in your appearance.
Top Benefits of Choosing Facial Plastic Surgery
Choosing facial surgery is a personal decision that requires thoughtful consideration of both the potential benefits and risks. Your decision should be guided by your individual needs and your desire for meaningful, positive change.
Facial plastic surgery can offer the following benefits for both men and women:
- Improve physical appearance – These procedures are designed to repair, refine, and enhance facial features. These treatments can include reshaping the nose, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, removing scars, and improving overall facial symmetry to achieve a more revitalized and natural feel.
- Boost self-confidence – Elevating your features with cosmetic surgery provides an opportunity to feel more confident in your presentation. When you feel good about how you look, it often reflects in the way you carry yourself and interact with others.
- Correct functional issues – Facial surgery can help correct functional concerns such as breathing difficulties or vision problems. Specialized procedures are designed to restore normal function, improve comfort, and enhance quality of life.
- Restores youthful appearance – With age, the skin loses elasticity and begins to sag. Facial plastic surgery can tighten loose skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more refreshed and youthful look.
At Millennial Plastic Surgery, we offer a wide range of surgical options to help you achieve the facial look you want. Dr. Shokrian identifies the needs of each patient and creates treatment plans tailored to their personal reconstructive or cosmetic goals.
You can choose from the following facial surgical procedures:
- Eyelid surgery
- Brow lift
- Face lift
- Mini-facelift
- Chin surgery
- Double chin surgery
- Chin reduction surgery
- Chin implants

- Neck lift
- Submentoplasty
- Cervicoplasty
- Mini neck lift
- Facial resurfacing

Facial Plastic Surgery Consultation – Your First Steps
Undergoing facial plastic surgery, whether for cosmetic or reconstructive purposes, is an important decision that requires a thorough consultation and careful planning with your surgeon. This initial step is crucial to understanding your goals, identifying your needs, and determining the most appropriate treatment approach.
During your consultation with either Dr. Shokrian or Dr. Elfar, they will assess your medical history and lifestyle, and perform a physical examination to evaluate your facial structure, skin quality, and overall health. This helps them figure out whether facial plastic surgery is the right option for you or if additional procedures may be essential to achieve optimal results. With their expertise in surgical techniques and artistic approach to facial aesthetics, they will develop a personalized treatment plan designed to achieve optimal results.
This session is also an opportunity to discuss your aesthetic vision in detail, ask questions, and learn about available options. It is designed to ensure you feel fully informed, comfortable, and confident in making decisions that align with your expectations.
Recovery and Healing
Recovery from a facial plastic surgery depends on the type and complexity of the procedure as well as the body’s healing process. Mild to moderate pain, swelling, and bruising are common in the initial days after surgery and gradually improve over time. It is important to rest, keep your head elevated, and follow your surgeon’s post-operative guidelines carefully to prevent complications and ensure the finest results.
Swelling and bruising gradually begin to improve within a few weeks. You may resume light daily activities as advised by your surgeon, but you should avoid all strenuous activities, including pulling, pushing, or lifting heavy objects. Excess strain can place pressure on healing tissues, potentially leading to bleeding, delayed recovery, or visible scarring.
You will start feeling more comfortable and may return to work within 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the procedure. While many normal activities can be gradually resumed, it is important to proceed with caution. If your job responsibilities include lifting heavy objects, being outdoors or meeting people frequently, you may need additional time off work for complete recovery.
By 4 to 6 weeks, most healing has occurred, and results become more noticeable as swelling and bruising continue to resolve. With your surgeon’s approval, you can return to your regular routine. You will see final results over the course of several months as the remaining swelling subsides and your features settle into a natural, refined appearance.

How Much Does Facial Cosmetic Surgery cost?
The cost of facial cosmetic surgery can vary widely depending on the type of procedure, its scope, and the complexity of your case. Pricing may also be influenced by the time required to achieve your desired results. More extensive cosmetic or reconstructive procedures that deliver significant transformations typically involve higher costs.
Several factors that influence the final price include:
- The surgeon’s experience and expertise
- Your geographical location
- Hospital or facility fee
- Anesthesia fee
- Medication
- Post-care
Facial plastic surgery is highly individualized, making an in-person consultation essential for determining the final cost. Your surgeon will assess your goals and develop a customized treatment plan, with pricing tailored to your specific needs.
Is Facial Plastic Surgery Covered by Insurance?
Facial surgery performed for cosmetic reasons is not covered by insurance. However, procedures done for reconstructive purposes or medical purposes may be partially or fully covered. This can include surgeries to address functional concerns such as breathing difficulties, facial trauma, or vision obstruction, provided they are approved as medically necessary by your healthcare provider.
It is important to consult with both your surgeon and insurance provider to understand what may be covered, based on your specific condition and insurance plan.
At Millennial Plastic Surgery, we understand that paying for facial plastic surgery out of pocket can be overwhelming, especially if you choose to combine it with other procedures for added benefit. We provide flexible payment plans and third-party financing options to make this surgery more accessible for you.
