FAQ & Answers
When will I be able to go out in public after a surgery?
Many patients find they’re ready for brief public outings–like running errands or grocery shopping–within 7-10 days after surgery, often choosing to wear sunglasses or a hat for added coverage. By two weeks, most people feel comfortable returning to work and attending social events, especially with a little makeup to conceal any residual bruising. Around the one-month mark, swelling has significantly decreased, and the results appear more natural and refined.
