Why Facial Cosmetic Surgery Feels Different
All surgery carries some degree of stress for the patient, but facial operations are often the most anxiety-provoking. Unlike procedures on other body areas, which can be covered by clothing during healing, facial surgery results are immediately visible. The healing process — or a less-than-optimal outcome — cannot easily be hidden.
Because of this, facial cosmetic surgery patients must be highly motivated to pursue the procedure, and the surgeon must be confident in his ability to deliver the expected result.
Dr. Wigod’s Approach to Facial Surgery
Dr. Wigod has experience performing all commonly requested facial operations and finds particular enjoyment in the challenges and rewards of facial surgery.
How Dr. Wigod Evaluates the Face
Before operating, Dr. Wigod follows a structured evaluation process:
- Whole-face examination — to arrive at an appropriate overall diagnosis.
- Three-zone analysis — the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face are each analyzed individually.
- Discussion of findings — results of the analysis are reviewed with the patient.
- Operative planning — an individualized surgical plan is developed based on the evaluation and discussion.
