Are you a good candidate for facial plastic surgery?

Among the many reasons for undergoing facial plastic surgery out there, we've seen that there is one main reason people decide to get a surgical (or non-surgical) procedure: to feel more confident. And that should be the first thing you think about when deciding if you are a good candidate for a procedure.

Whether it is a slight bump on a nose, the thickness of lips, or the height of a hairline, our patients undergo facial plastic surgery procedures to make them feel better about themselves, which can affect their lively hood, their health, and overall quality of life.

Beyond getting a boost in self-confidence, the best thing to do to find out if you are a good candidate is as follows:

- First and foremost, speak to a board-certified surgeon, like double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Jason Champagne, about your goals and concerns. Dr. Champagne knows everyone is different and will individualize a course of action for each specific procedure or multiple procedures you decide to explore.

- As each procedure is quite different, and the subtleties of each are nearly endless, being a good candidate for different procedures includes different factors. For example, someone undergoing a hairline lowering typically has a high hairline who otherwise have thick hair and no personal or familial history of hair loss, making them a good candidate. But each procedure is different as well because a hairline lowering procedure is typically more beneficial for women than men because of the differences between male and female genetics.

- Have realistic goals and expectations - Again, everyone is different and undergoing a surgical procedure like a Rhinoplasty will have a different outcome from someone else who also undergoes a Rhinoplasty. Dr. Champagne is an expert in knowing what shapes and sizes will give each of his patients the best and most natural-looking results specific to their individual facial structure.

So if something about your appearance has been affecting your self-confidence and you feel it's time to make a change, please contact our office to schedule a personalized, confidential consultation with our facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Jason Champagne. During your consultation, Dr. Champagne will address your goals and answer any questions you may have regarding any of our many procedures and can suggest the best course of action and specific procedures for your individual needs.
