Recovery typically includes a first week of rest and a gradual return to light activity after two to four weeks. Strenuous exercise is delayed six to eight weeks; swelling and numbness may persist for months while tissues settle and scars mature.

Ideal candidates have stable weight, good overall health, and realistic expectations. Non-smokers and those who have completed planned childbearing see better outcomes. A personalized consultation evaluates medical history, skin quality, and goals to determine suitability and surgical plan.

Cost varies based on procedure extent, facility fees, anesthesia, and any combined treatments. Typical ranges differ per patient; a detailed consultation with Dr. Javaheri provides an individualized quote, financing options, and transparent breakdown of costs and expected expenses.
