Following your procedure, we will monitor your health until you can be safely released to be taken home by a friend or family member. Prior to your procedure, Dr. Brown or someone on his staff will schedule your follow-up visits and go over suggestions to help you feel more comfortable while you recover. It is normal to experience bruising and swelling, slight to moderate pain, and soreness, which may be reduced with pain medication. You should feel and physically look better after several weeks, and you can expect a more glowing look with fewer lines and sagging.
