Lunchtime Face Procedures Worth It?

There are a lot of procedures that can safely and effectively be done to improve your facial appearance over your lunchtime. You might choose Botox/Dysport injections, fillers such as Restylane, Perlane or Juvederm, or possibly a light or laser treatment. All of these options may be completed during a short visit over your lunchtime. The right combination of procedures chosen to address your concerns can make a very big difference in your appearance.

The surgical options that are worth having are not able to be completed during your lunch hour. There are some of the franchised mini-facelift advertisements that promise surgery will be done in one hour though this is usually not truly the case. Be careful about the hype of advertising. Choose the best procedures to match your needs and concerns. Always consult with doctors that are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery  to ensure that you are in good hands.

While BOTOX and most laser procedures take days to weeks to see results immediate gratification can be achieved with fillers, with little to no down-time. Most procedures involving fillers can be performed in 10 minutes or less by an experienced physician. Some procedures can even produce results that mimic a surgical procedure.
Most notable is the "lunch-time nose job". With Radiesse, Juvederm or Artefill I make patient's noses look straight and symmetrical. If bruising occurs it can be covered immediately with makeup. Also, a "Liquid Face Lift" can be performed in approximately 30 minutes during a patient's lunch hour. Fillers are used to enhance cheeks, lips, fill in wrinkles and are also combined with BOTOX to achieve results that look like a surgical face lift.
Other than bruising and a little swelling, there should be nothing that would produce "down time." As always, make sure you choose a physician who is also an artist with fillers. Ninety percent of your results with fillers depends on the injector's technique and artistry.
