The beginning of summer means one thing for many of us: The Reunion. Be it a family reunion, high school, or college reunion everyone, young and old, has the same goal: to look their best. Everybody wants to be the person impresses their former classmates with their youthful appearance. Nothing tops hearing "You have hardly aged a day!" from old boyfriends and former friends. Almost all of us take special care to pick out a great outfit, get a amazing haircut and work to shed those last five pounds. Now, more and more, many of us are also visiting a plastic surgeon for tweaks to look fantastic. The biggest question then becomes, "what procedures can I have before my reunion? And when?"
Dr. Anil Shah, a Chicago, IL facial plastic surgeon, recommends giving yourself an adequate amount of time for healing prior to the reunion. "For patients seeking subtle age enhancements, a gentle touch of botox or facial filler can be performed, ideally with a minimum of 2 weeks time before an event." says Dr. Shah. "This allows the rare patient who bruises plenty of time to recover and not stress about the healing process." Continues Dr. Shah, "For those seeking nasal reshaping or rhinoplasty, I would recommend at least a 3 month period of time with 6 months to a year being ideal. This allows for swelling in the nose and especially the nasal tip to be minimized as much as possible." But it isn't just Botox, facial fillers, or rhinoplasty that patients seek. "Those patients approaching their 25, 30, or 50th reunions might be candidates for a face lift or eye lift." says Dr. Shah "These are typically best performed 3 months prior." With big events, it is all about the details. For many of us, it is about fading a line or smoothing a nasal bump to make the day as special as possible.
