Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect from my consultation?

Your consultation is all about you. Dr. Connor will review your goals, discuss your concerns, and recommend the best approach for your unique needs. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions, explore your options, and take the next steps at your own pace.

How long will my procedure take?

Treatment times vary depending on the type and complexity of your procedure. In-office treatments like injectables typically take 15–30 minutes, while most surgical procedures last around one to two hours. Dr. Connor will provide you with a clear timeline based on your specific treatment plan.

What kind of anesthesia will I need?

Most minor procedures are performed with local anesthesia, sometimes with light sedation. For more complex surgeries, we may recommend IV sedation or general anesthesia, all of which will be administered by a licensed anesthesiologist in an accredited facility to ensure your comfort and safety.

How much downtime should I expect?

Recovery time varies depending on your treatment. Many non-surgical options have little to no downtime, while surgeries typically involve 1–2 weeks of healing. To make your recovery as smooth as possible, you’ll receive clear aftercare instructions and ongoing support.

When will I see the results?

Some results, like those from dermal fillers, appear right away, while others take a little more time. Surgical results typically become more visible as swelling subsides over the first few weeks. Dr. Connor will explain what you can expect based on your specific procedure.

Will I have a follow-up appointment?

Yes. Follow-up care is an important part of your treatment. Dr. Connor will check on your healing, answer any questions you have, and make sure your results are progressing as expected. Additional visits may be scheduled if needed to ensure everything is going smoothly.
