Medical review in progress — patient information, not a substitute for a consultation.
Overview
Facial plastic surgery covers reconstruction after injury, cancer or burns, and aesthetic treatments that soften wrinkles and sagging. Options range from minimally invasive treatments to surgical procedures, chosen after assessing skin quality, age and goals.
What it addresses
- Facial wrinkles and folds
- Sagging facial skin
- Facial scars from injury, cancer or burns
Who may be a candidate
- Adults in good health with realistic expectations
- People with facial scars or deformity seeking improvement
Treatment options
- 01Minimally invasive wrinkle treatments where suitable
- 02Surgical tightening of sagging skin
- 03Facial scar revision and reconstruction
Benefits & limitations
- A refreshed, natural look
- Non-surgical results are temporary and need repeating
- Ageing continues after any treatment
Every patient is different. Results vary and no outcome can be guaranteed; your surgeon will discuss what is realistic for you.
Consultation & assessment
At Central Hospital, Dhanmondi, Dr. Masum takes a full history, examines the area of concern and — only with your permission — takes clinical photographs for your file. He explains which options suit you, including non-surgical ones where they are appropriate, together with the expected recovery, possible risks and the cost, so that you can decide without pressure.
Please bring previous prescriptions, investigation reports and a list of the medicines you take.
Preparing for surgery
- 1Tell the surgeon about diabetes, high blood pressure, heart or kidney disease and any allergies.
- 2Mention blood thinners, aspirin or herbal supplements — some may need to be paused only on medical advice.
- 3Stop smoking well before surgery; it slows wound healing.
- 4Follow the fasting and medicine instructions you are given for the day of surgery.
- 5Arrange for a family member to accompany you and help at home for the first days.
The procedure
The plan is tailored after a facial assessment. Some treatments take minutes in the chamber; surgical procedures are done in the operating theatre.
Recovery & aftercare
Recovery varies from a day for minor treatments to two weeks or more after surgery.
Possible risks
- Bruising and swelling
- Asymmetry
- Bleeding or a collection of blood under the skin (haematoma)
- Infection
- Delayed wound healing or wound breakdown
- Scarring that is more noticeable than expected
- Risks related to anaesthesia
Questions about this treatment
Each area is assessed separately; combining many procedures at once increases risk, so treatment is usually planned in safe stages.
