What age is an acceptable time frame to start having procedures or treatments?

This depends on the area that the client feels a need to improve. Cosmetic nasal surgery can be indicated in the early 20’s. Botox can be started in the 20’s. Laser treatments for certain conditions can be appropriate in childhood. Facelifts, eyelid surgery as well as forehead procedures can be started in the 40’s and above.

Does plastic surgery leave any visible scarring?

The body always heals an incision with a scar. Cosmetic surgeons always focus on placing incisions where the scars will heal well with the least amount of visibility. In general, Dr. Blair informs patients that after surgery if they are looking for a scar they will find it, but if you are not looking for a scar they are usually hard to see.
