When will I see the final result?
In most cases, patients can get a good idea of the final result at around four-eight weeks after surgery. At this point, swelling and bruising should be gone, aside from slight puffiness. Complete healing generally happens after 6 months, at which point we can see the final result.
How can I minimize scarring after surgery?
Dr. Schwarcz uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring. He also provides detailed post-operative care instructions, including how to care for incisions, avoid sun exposure, and promote healing.
When can I resume normal activities after surgery?
This depends on the procedure. For most surgeries, light activities can be resumed within a week or two, while more strenuous activities should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks.
What should I expect during recovery?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Most patients experience some swelling and bruising, which subside within a few weeks. Dr. Schwarcz will provide a personalized recovery plan and be available to address any concerns.
How should I prepare for my surgery?
Before surgery, avoid medications or supplements that can thin the blood, stop smoking, and follow any dietary restrictions provided by Dr. Schwarcz. Detailed pre-surgery instructions will be given during your consultation.
Does this office accept my health insurance?
