There is a version of neuromodulator treatment that removes movement entirely, and it is not the one we practice. Sloane Holloway, RN, BSN, treats to soften rather than to erase, which means the first appointment is often deliberately conservative and the second one, two weeks later, adds only what the face turned out to need. It is slower. It costs a return visit. It is also the reason people tell us they cannot tell what changed. Bruising and temporary asymmetry are possible with any injection, and the effect wears off over three to four months.

The single instruction our surgical patients most often underestimate is sun protection over a healing scar. A new scar is more likely to darken with ultraviolet exposure for the better part of a year, and once it does, that pigment is slow to leave. This is why we ask for a physical sunscreen over the site daily, hats in June, and patience through a Tennessee summer. It is the least interesting part of aftercare and it changes the twelve-month appearance more than almost anything else we ask for.

Abdominoplasty is discussed as if it were about skin, and the skin is only half of it. Beneath it, the two vertical bands of the abdominal wall can separate during pregnancy and stay separated afterward, which is why some women find that no amount of training changes the shape of the midline. Board-certified Dr. Elise Rowan repairs that separation with internal sutures before any skin is removed. It is the part of the operation you cannot see in a photograph and the part that determines whether the result holds. Recovery is significant and restrictions on lifting last several weeks.
