Question: I am in my 60’s and it’s hard enough being stuck at home, but watching my face age makes me feel even worse. I walk a lot and exercise, but that doesn’t help facial aging. I can give up shopping, restaurants and even entertainment for a while, but maintaining a refreshed and youthful face is still a priority, even during an epidemic and changing stock market. Do you have any suggestions?

Answer: You can make valuable use of this time by being proactive about a facial rejuvenation plan. I am doing remote one-on-one consultations for new and established patients who are unable to see me in person due to social distancing protocols. These remote consultations can guide you with a facial rejuvenation plan. By the time you are able to see me in person, you may not only have a good idea of your treatment plan but it may also help you to financially plan for your procedures.

As a Facial Plastic Surgeon of 23 years, I place emphasis on a balanced combination of both surgical and non-surgical procedures. When it comes to your face, surgery or a facelift alone can’t rejuvenate all facial aging. Botox, injectable fillers and lasers are essential non-surgical treatments for wrinkles, grooves, facial hollows, aged skin texture and lax skin.

To begin the remote consultation process, log on to www.mandalplasticsurgery.com. On the home page, scroll down to the left lower side and click on PATIENT FORMS. Once you complete these initial forms, please contact my office at 561.238.0040. At that time, instructions will be provided on how to take simple before photos with your cell phone.

A remote consultation appointment can then be scheduled for you once everything is in order. During the remote consultation, I will be able to see you and communicate with you directly. When the time comes for an in-office visit, I can go over any remaining concerns or questions. By then, you may already know what you need and be ready to schedule your procedure.
