Whether you’re considering a surgical option like a facelift or a non-invasive treatment like Botox, the best candidates are non-smokers with stable skin health.

A consultation with Mehdi Balakhani, MD, DDS, FACS, will help determine the most suitable treatment based on your goals.
What to Expect During Facial Procedures
Each cosmetic facial surgery enhances your natural features while ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience. Here’s what you can expect during each treatment.
Facial procedures can generally be categorized into invasive procedures and non-invasive/minimally invasive treatments. Each category offers unique benefits depending on your aesthetic goals, desired results, and recovery preferences.
Invasive facial procedures
Invasive procedures involve surgical techniques to achieve long-lasting facial rejuvenation and enhancement. These treatments require anesthesia, incisions, and a recovery period. During surgery, excess skin may be removed, underlying tissues repositioned, or implants placed to restore facial harmony. Swelling and bruising are common during recovery, with final results becoming visible over time.
Examples of invasive procedures include:
- Facelift
- Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty)
- Neck lift
- Facial implants
Non-invasive and minimally invasive facial treatments
Non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments focus on enhancing facial appearance without surgery. These treatments typically involve little to no downtime, making them a popular choice for those seeking subtle improvements with minimal disruption to daily life. They may involve injectables, laser therapy, or skin resurfacing to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and improve skin texture.
Examples of non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments include:
- Botox and dermal fillers
- Laser skin resurfacing
- RF microneedling
Whether you’re considering a surgical transformation or a non-surgical enhancement, our team will help you choose the best option for your needs.
Recovery After Facial Procedures
Recovery varies depending on the type of facial procedure, but here’s what you can generally expect:
- Initial downtime – Surgical procedures may require a few weeks of healing, while non-surgical treatments often involve minimal downtime
- Swelling and bruising – Common after facial surgery or injectables, typically subsiding within days to weeks
- Pain management – Mild discomfort can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers
- Activity restrictions – Avoid strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure, and certain skincare products as directed
- Follow-up care – Regular check-ins with your provider ensure proper healing and address any concerns
- Results timeline – Immediate improvements may be visible, but final results develop over weeks to months

A consultation with Dr. Balakhani will help determine the best procedure for your needs. He will assess your concerns, discuss your goals, and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
