Before deciding to have any cosmetic surgery procedure, you will want to schedule a consultation with Houston cosmetic surgeon Dr. Leo Lapuerta. Your consultation with Dr. Lapuerta is very important. This is a special time set aside so you can learn about the procedure, ask all of your facelift questions, and discuss your goals with Dr. Lapuerta.

Dr. Lapuerta will listen to your goals and desires. He will ask you questions and help you decide which cosmetic surgery procedure is right for your needs. He will explain the facelift procedure and what results you can expect. If a facelift is not right for your needs, he will explain your other facial rejuvenation options. These options will include:

• BOTOX®
• Juvederm
• Restylane
• Radiesse
• Sculptra
• Skin Resurfacing
• Skin Medica

After he explains the procedure and discusses your options with you, you will have a chance to ask all of your questions. You may want to write down some questions before your consultation to make sure you ask everything you want and to make sure you do not forget anything. You may want to ask about recovery time, post-op instructions, and possible results.

Dr. Lapuerta will assess your face and figure out what areas need tightening and possible facial liposuction. There may be some areas of your face that can benefit from liposuction to aid in smoothing out the skin to reduce wrinkles and facial folds.

You will also be asked several questions about your health and health history. You will need to inform Dr. Lapuerta of any medications you are taking because he may need to alter the pain medications he gives you. Your medical history is one of the most important parts of the consultation.
