What type of follow-up is required for cosmetic facial surgery?
This depends upon the procedure. Some procedures require a follow-up appointment at one week to remove sutures. Larger procedures usually require a follow-up appointment 24 hours after surgery. Follow-up is important for the surgeon and patient and there is no rule for this. The best doctors closely follow their patients. When it is easy for patients to present for follow-up, we enjoy seeing our patients on an ongoing basis. We do not charge for follow-up appointments. For out of town patients we can arrange follow up with friends and colleagues of Dr. Niamtu.
