Where does Dr. Payne Practice or perform Surgery?
Will I be in pain or swelling after any of the surgeries?
Each procedure has a different recovery time, and a different discomfort level. You can expect some discomfort, however Dr. Payne and our staff will prepare and instruct you on how to manage discomfort, and what medication must be taken to reduce pain and swelling. Check out our Individual procedure pages for more details!
When do I get my prescription for medication for surgery?
You will get prescription medication electronically within a week prior to your surgery date.
When will I be able to resume physical activity?
Usually around 2 weeks after surgery unless otherwise stated during your appointment, every cosmetic procedure is different so it is always a good idea to follow the instructions given at your pre-operative appointment.
When can I return back to work?
Depending on the type of procedure, you can usually return to work in 1-3 days. Some cosmetic procedures require a certain amount of rest and recuperation, and every person is different as well. See our individual procedure pages for more information about the procedure you are interested in.
How long after weight loss surgery can I get excess skin removed?
You can have surgery to remove excess skin when weight loss is at a plateau. This means, you will want to wait till the all of your weight is lost then remove the excess skin.
Will I have scarring after any of the cosmetic procedures?
Each procedure is different, so it does depend on which surgery you have. Some procedures leave slight scarring while others leave almost no visible scar.
