Common Questions
Frequently Asked
How long is recovery for surgical procedures?
Recovery varies by procedure. For most facial surgery, patients feel comfortable returning to social activities within ten to fourteen days, though full tissue settling takes several months. Every patient receives a personalized aftercare plan.
Will my results look natural?
Dr. Sharif-Askary's philosophy is restraint. She uses refined techniques that enhance your existing features rather than alter them beyond recognition. The goal is a result that looks rested and like yourself, never overdone.
What should I expect at my consultation?
A private, one-on-one conversation about your goals, history, and anatomy. We use the time to educate you on your options and build a plan tailored to you. No pressure, only a professional dialogue.
