While many people have been nestled up at home during the Covid outbreak, others have been flocking to their plastic surgeons to begin their cosmetic procedures. If you’ve been wanting to upgrade your look with a cosmetic treatment, with everyone hiding behind a mask, now you can transform your appearance discreetly.
The hardest part for some patients is finding the time to recover from these procedures. With a mask on your side, a pair of sunglasses, or a big floppy hat, you’ll be able to complete your recovery period free of awkward looks! Here are a few treatments that will have you ready for post-pandemic parties:
Facelift
When skin loses its elasticity and starts to sag, a facelift can drop years off your perceived age and define your natural bone structure. During the procedure, excess skin will be taught and trimmed to increase the appearance of tone and create a youthful shape.
During the two to three weeks following the procedure, you can expect bruising and swelling to begin to dissipate. Recovery typically takes one month following the surgery.
Neck Lift
As we age, our skin begins to thin and muscles weaken. Without proper tone, gravity pulls tissue downward resulting in a reduction of definition. A neck lift removes excess fat and tissue that surround the neck and redistribute it as needed.
Patients report feeling tightness in the neck, along with bruising and swelling. The recovery process is known to last a few weeks to months.
Lip Blushing
This permanent makeup application can create the image of voluminous definition and curvature by adding pigmentation to your lips. Unlike injections, the effects of lip blushing will last two to five years, and the treatment is more affordable in the long-run.
The healing process includes swelling, scabbing, tenderness, and discoloration. After about 10 days, your lips will begin to feel normal and the tone will even out. Your lips won’t lose their luster with this treatment.
Smile Makeover
If you have imperfections in your smile there are various dental procedures that can instantly improve your appearance. Ray Snider, a leading cosmetic dentist in the Fort Worth, TX area recommends a smile makeover to patients who want to achieve dramatic results.
Smile makeovers consist of a variety of sequential procedures such as dental bonding, dental crowns, porcelain veneers, and dental implants. During your consultation, your dentist will examine your oral health and discuss your smile goals to determine which treatments you would benefit from the most so you can have the smile you’ve always wanted.
Ready for the Unveiling Party?
The once infamous Covid mask is now a reason to transform your appearance without the obvious bandages standing in your way. The endless availability of styles and sizes of cover-ups and masks will make it easier to find the right accessories to hide your healing process. Just be sure to consult with your provider to ensure you choose the right mask to hide your procedure as this may change with time.
