I want surgery but you told me to wait...

For some patients, the juice simply isn't worth the squeeze (yet)...

Some patients come to us very early in the aging process, still looking natural and youthful. At this stage, the signs of aging you're noticing are very minimal and well within the range of what we consider normal for someone of your age and facial structure.

While we understand your desire to stay ahead of the aging process, it’s important to weigh the benefits of surgery against the inherent risks, downtime, and the possibility of very subtle changes that might not yield the significant impact you’re hoping for at this time.

Given a youthful and/or normal anatomic appearance, we sometimes encourage patients to wait on surgery as surgical intervention right now may not offer a noticeable enough improvement to justify the procedure.

We generally recommend revisiting the idea in about 3-5 years when the changes may be more pronounced, and the potential benefit from surgery would be much greater. In the meantime, we can certainly explore non-surgical treatments like injectables or skin treatments to help maintain youthful features. Rest assured, we will be here to guide you whenever the time is right for surgical options in the future.
