Frequently asked questions

Answer:
Cosmetic surgery is safe if you have it done at a reputable, licensed medical facility with a highly qualified doctor. However, any procedure has risks. Complying with post-operative instructions helps minimize risks.

Answer:

  • General health check.
  • Stop smoking and drinking alcohol at least 2 weeks before surgery.
  • Inform your doctor fully about your medical history, drug allergies, or other health problems.

Answer:

    • Recovery time depends on the type of surgery:

      • Minor surgery (such as filler injection, eyelid surgery): 1-2 weeks.

      • Major surgery (such as rhinoplasty, skin tightening): 2-4 weeks to function normally, 3-6 months to see complete results.

    • Following your care instructions will help you recover faster

Answer:
Some complications can occur, including:

  • Infection at the surgical site.
  • Prolonged swelling or bruising.
  • The result is not as expected (revise if necessary).
    Contact your doctor immediately if you experience unusual symptoms such as fever, severe pain, or pus draining from the surgical site.

Answer:
Most surgeries leave small scars, but your doctor will perform cosmetic stitches and provide care instructions to minimize scarring. Using scar treatment cream as prescribed can help significantly improve it.

Answer:
Costs vary depending on the type of surgery, the skill of the doctor, and the facility where it is performed. For example:

  • Eyelid surgery: 10-20 million VND.
  • Rhinoplasty: 20-100 million VND.
  • Liposuction: 40-100 million VND.

Answer:
If the surgery is performed correctly and you take good care of it, there will be no negative effects on your health. However, it should be noted that potential complications such as infection or misshapenness can occur if the care process is not followed.

Answer:
Depending on the type of surgery:

  • Minor surgery: Can return to work after 1-2 days.
  • Major surgery: You should take 7-14 days off to recover.

Answer:

  • Light exercise (walking): After 1 week.
  • Heavy exercise (gym, yoga): After 4-6 weeks or as directed by your doctor.

Answer:
Some procedures need to be repeated after several years, for example:

  • Filler injection: 6-12 months.
  • Facelift: 5-10 years depending on the condition. Fixed surgeries such as rhinoplasty or eyelid surgery usually do not need to be redone unless something goes wrong.
