What to Expect: The Facial Balancing Process

Facial balancing at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery involves a meticulous surgical process to restore facial harmony and enhance natural beauty. The procedure begins with a personalized consultation, during which Dr. Alan Durkin evaluates your facial structure and discusses your aesthetic goals, devising a treatment plan just for you. Once you decide to proceed, the surgical process unfolds in our advanced surgical suite, ensuring your comfort and safety.

Anesthesia: Before the procedure begins, anesthesia ensures you are comfortable and pain-free. We prioritize your well-being and monitor you closely throughout the entire surgery.
Incisions: The next step involves making discreet incisions strategically placed within the hairline and around the ears. These incisions are carefully planned to minimize visible scarring while allowing access to underlying facial tissues.
Tissue Repositioning: Dr. Durkin uses advanced surgical techniques to reposition underlying facial tissues, which may involve lifting and tightening muscles and connective tissues to restore youthful contours and address asymmetries.
Facial Fat Grafting (if applicable): In cases where additional volume or contouring is needed, facial fat grafting may be performed. Fat grafting involves harvesting fat from another part of your body, purifying it, and carefully injecting it into specific areas of the face to restore volume and enhance facial balance.
Skin Redraping: After repositioning the facial tissues and achieving the desired contours, the skin is carefully redraped over the newly sculpted facial framework. Excess skin is trimmed away, and the remaining skin is meticulously sutured to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Closure and Recovery: Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures, and bandages may be applied to support your healing process. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Facial Balancing Recovery and Results

After your facial balancing procedure at Ocean Drive Plastic Surgery, you can expect a carefully managed recovery process designed to optimize your healing and results. Initially, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, typical side effects of facial surgery. Our team provides detailed post-operative instructions and pain management techniques to ensure comfort. Most patients resume light activities within the first week, although strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks to promote proper healing. It’s important to attend follow-up appointments as scheduled, where Dr. Durkin will monitor your progress, remove any sutures, and provide personalized guidance for your continued recovery. While initial improvements may be visible shortly after surgery, final results emerge as swelling subsides over the following weeks to months, revealing a more balanced and rejuvenated facial appearance for enhanced confidence.
