Scarring is a natural part of the healing process after surgery, but we take every measure to make them as minimal and discreet as possible. We place incisions strategically in areas where scars can be easily concealed, such as natural skin folds or less visible locations. With proper care and time, most scars fade significantly and are not noticeable.
-
Plastic surgeons are board-certified doctors who have undergone extensive training in both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, enabling them to address a wide range of surgical needs. Cosmetic surgeons, on the other hand, may come from various medical backgrounds and typically focus solely on aesthetic procedures without the same level of specialized training. By selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Kirk A. Churukian, you’re choosing a professional with specialized training dedicated to achieving safe and beautiful results.

The time it takes to return to work and normal activities after surgery varies depending on the specific procedure and your individual healing process.
