Frequently Asked Questions
General Practice & Surgeon Questions
Who is Dr. Anthony Nichols, and what are his qualifications?
Dr. Anthony Nichols is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon specializing exclusively in facial cosmetic and reconstructive procedures. His training focuses on the anatomy of the face, head, and neck, allowing for precise, natural-looking results. This dedicated specialization distinguishes facial plastic surgeons from general plastic surgeons.
What should I expect during my facial plastic surgery consultation?
During your consultation, your facial anatomy, goals, and medical history are carefully reviewed. Dr Nichols discusses appropriate treatment options, expected outcomes, recovery timelines, and potential risks. The consultation is educational and personalized, ensuring you fully understand your options before making a decision.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for facial plastic surgery?
Good candidates are generally healthy, have realistic expectations, and seek improvement rather than perfection. Suitability depends on facial structure, skin quality, age, and overall health. A professional consultation is the best way to determine whether surgery or non-surgical treatment is appropriate.
Is facial plastic surgery safe, and what are the risks?
Facial plastic surgery is considered safe when performed by a qualified, board-certified facial plastic surgeon. As with any surgery, risks may include swelling, bruising, infection, or scarring. These risks are minimized through proper planning, surgical technique, and post-operative care.
How do I choose the best facial plastic surgeon near me (London, Ontario)?
Look for board certification, facial-only specialization, years of experience, and consistent before-and-after results. Clear communication, patient education, and a focus on natural outcomes are also important factors when selecting a facial plastic surgeon.
Procedure-Specific Questions
What is a facelift, and how long do results last?
A facelift improves sagging skin, deep folds, and loss of facial definition caused by aging. Results typically last 8–12 years, depending on genetics, skin quality, and lifestyle. While ageing continues, patients usually appear younger long-term compared to no treatment.
What’s the difference between a traditional facelift and a deep plane facelift?
A traditional facelift primarily tightens skin, while a deep plane facelift repositions deeper facial structures for more natural, longer-lasting results. Deep plane techniques are often preferred for advanced ageing and avoid an overly tight appearance.
What is eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), and who is a good candidate?
Eyelid surgery removes excess skin or fat from the upper or lower eyelids to improve heaviness, puffiness, or a tired appearance. Good candidates experience drooping eyelids or under-eye bags and are in good overall health.
How does a neck lift differ from chin liposuction?
A neck lift tightens loose skin and underlying muscles, while chin liposuction removes localized fat beneath the chin. The choice depends on skin elasticity and the degree of ageing present. Some patients benefit from combining both procedures.
What results can I expect from buccal fat removal surgery?
Buccal fat removal enhances facial contour by reducing fullness in the lower cheeks. Results appear gradually as swelling subsides, creating a slimmer, more sculpted facial profile. Proper patient selection is essential for balanced outcomes.
What does facial fat grafting involve for facial rejuvenation?
Facial fat grafting uses your own fat to restore volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye region. It improves facial balance and skin quality while delivering long-lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation.
What is a lip lift, and how is it different from lip fillers?
A lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, improving lip shape and tooth show permanently. Lip fillers add temporary volume. A lip lift changes structure, while fillers enhance fullness.
How soon can I see results after brow lift surgery?
Initial improvements are visible within a few weeks, with final results appearing after swelling fully resolves, usually within a few months. The brow appears more refreshed and naturally elevated.
Non-Surgical Treatment Questions
What non-surgical treatments are offered (Botox, dermal fillers, laser)?
Non-surgical options typically include neuromodulators like Botox, dermal fillers for volume restoration, and laser treatments for skin texture, tone, and pigmentation. These treatments offer facial rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
How long do Botox and filler results typically last?
Botox results usually last 3–4 months, while dermal fillers can last 6–18 months, depending on the product used and treatment area. Maintenance treatments help preserve results over time.
Can non-surgical treatments replace surgical procedures?
Non-surgical treatments can delay the need for surgery, but cannot fully replace surgical correction for significant ageing or structural concerns. Surgery offers longer-lasting and more comprehensive results in advanced cases.
What skin concerns can laser treatments improve?
Laser treatments address fine lines, sun damage, uneven tone, acne scars, and skin texture. They stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother, healthier-looking skin over time.
Recovery, Cost & Expectations
What is the recovery process like after facial plastic surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure but typically includes swelling and bruising that gradually improve over several weeks. Detailed post-operative instructions are provided to support healing and optimize results.
How long is the downtime after eyelid or facelift surgery?
Eyelid surgery usually requires 1–2 weeks of downtime, while facelift recovery may take 2–3 weeks for the most visible swelling to subside. Full healing continues over several months.
What are typical costs for common facial cosmetic procedures?
Costs vary based on procedure type, complexity, and treatment plan. A personalized consultation is necessary to provide accurate pricing based on individual goals and anatomy.
Does insurance cover cosmetic facial surgery?
Cosmetic procedures are generally not covered by insurance. However, certain functional surgeries may qualify for coverage if medically necessary.
Does Nichols Facial Plastic Surgery offer financing options?
Yes, financing options are available to help make facial cosmetic procedures more accessible. Details are discussed during the consultation process.
Before & After / Outcome Questions
Where can I see before-and-after photos of facial procedures?
Before-and-after photos are available on the website and during consultations to help patients understand realistic outcomes and surgical approaches.
How soon will I see results after my surgery or treatment?
Some results are visible immediately, but outcomes develop gradually as swelling resolves. Non-surgical treatments often show faster results than surgery.
How long does it take for swelling and bruising to go down after facial surgery?
Most swelling and bruising improve significantly within 2–3 weeks, though subtle swelling may persist for several months depending on the procedure.
Patient Experience & Safety
What safety measures are in place for surgical and non-surgical treatments?
Strict safety protocols, advanced surgical techniques, and thorough patient screening are followed to ensure optimal outcomes and patient safety.
How do I prepare for my cosmetic surgery appointment?
Preparation includes medical evaluation, medication review, and following pre-operative instructions. Proper preparation helps reduce risks and improve recovery.
What questions should I ask at my plastic surgery consultation?
Patients should ask about procedure options, recovery timelines, risks, expected results, and the surgeon’s experience. Open communication is key to informed decision-making.
Can I combine surgical and non-surgical treatments for better results?
Yes, combining procedures can enhance facial harmony and longevity of results. Treatment plans are customized to achieve balanced, natural-looking outcomes.
