Introducing Face and Neck Surgery in Virginia
Facial aging is an inevitable process that affects all of us in different ways and in different stages. Deep creases may form around the nose and mouth, lips thin, jawlines sag, neck fat accumulates, skin thins and becomes transparent, cheeks become hollow, and wrinkles develop around the eyes, lips, and face. Although no cosmetic procedure can stop this process, there are many facial treatments available at The Virginia Institute of Surgical Arts that can turn back the clock and help you in your quest to look young again.
At the Virginia Institute of Surgical Arts, Dr. Trang Vo-Nguyen, known as Dr. V., takes great pride in helping you release your inner beauty in a way that surfaces on the outside as well. Dr. V knows that the professional definition of plastic surgery is improving one’s appearance with the help of science and medicine. However, she also understands that even though a successful surgeon must possess immeasurable expertise in medical science, they should also offer the creative skill and artistic aspect necessary to achieve the best possible aesthetic outcome for a patient. Dr. V applies this philosophy for both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery because she feels that by making her patients love their appearance when they look in the mirror, that positive confidence will carry over to everyone they come in contact with. Dr. V is highly qualified with superb surgical skills and vast training so be assured you can entrust her to transform your appearance and exceed all of your expectations and goals.

FAQs: Face and Neck Surgery
Facial plastic surgery results vary based on the procedure, healing timeline, and individual lifestyle factors.
For instance, procedures like facelifts and rhinoplasty offer long-lasting improvements well over a decade — facelifts and neck lifts up to 10-15 years; while treatments like rhinoplasty should be permanent when successful.
Do note factors like the natural progression of aging, sun exposure, smoking, genetics, and your diet and exercise choices all impact how facial plastic surgery evolves over time. Compare these with non-surgical facial enhancements though, and the results’ timelines are quite different. Many non-augmentation fillers, laser treatments, and Botox, for instance, require as a default ongoing maintenance several times a year to sustain your improved looks.
Choosing an experienced facial reconstructive surgical expert like Dr. V is critical. This ensures you receive the proper medical and aesthetic techniques correct for you, and improvements that support lasting, harmonized, natural-looking final results.
Post-surgery, pain levels vary by procedure. But most facial plastic surgeries involve manageable discomfort that alleviates gradually each week of recovery rather than severe, debilitating pain.
During surgery, anesthesia ensures you feel nothing. Afterwards, most facial surgery patients experience swelling, tightness, bruising in treated areas, and mild-to-moderate soreness for 3-6 weeks. Your surgeon will prescribe medication or recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to keep you comfortable during recovery. Procedures like rhinoplasty or facelifts may cause temporary numbness or sensitivity, which gradually subsides.
Following post-op care instructions, including how to keep swelling down and avoiding strenuous activity, helps ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
Your consultation with Dr. V is an opportunity to discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, compare ideal final looks, and hear your best surgical pathway.
During the initial appointment, Dr. V will evaluate your facial structure, skin quality, and any underlying factors that may impact results, like your age and lifestyle. You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan outlining potential procedures, expected outcomes, and recovery details. Dr. V will also answer any questions and ensure you have a realistic set of expectations about what’s achieved with your chosen face or neck surgery.
Remember, consultations are all about openness and collaboration. It’s a set of conversations designed to help you make an informed, confident decision about your chosen plastic surgery experience.
Dr. V generally recommends patients wait at least 7-10 days before flying after most facial plastic procedures, providing the body ample time for unobstructed healing.
The reason? Travelling by air too shortly after undergoing surgery exposes your body to unnecessary and complicating environments, including increased swelling from cabin pressure changes and risks to circulation that can result in blood clots.
For some procedures such as rhinoplasty or eyelid surgery, sinus congestion from flying can significantly add to physical facial discomfort; while facelift or neck lift patients may experience additional in-flight swelling.
Always consult with Dr. V and your medical care team if you have necessary travel requirements around the time of your facial plastic surgery. They’ll provide specific suggestions and possible medications based on your procedure’s risks. Stay hydrated, avoid lifting heavy any carry on bags or luggage, and ensure you’re diligently following post-op care instructions if you find you must fly.
