Loving your curves starts with feeling confident in your own skin.

For this patient I enhanced her volume while keeping a soft, natural contour that fits her frame seamlessly. The goal was balance and proportion — curves that refine what is already there.

More confidence. More curves. Still completely you.

A facelift is a transformative procedure that rejuvenates the lower face and neck with long lasting results. While modern facelift techniques are advanced and precise, the recovery period is an important part of achieving the best possible outcome. Understanding the type of support you may need after surgery can help ensure a smooth and successful healing experience.

Immediate Post Surgical Care

In the first twenty four to forty eight hours, patients benefit from having someone available to help at home. Assistance with meal preparation, medications, mobility, and basic tasks is especially helpful during this early period of rest.

Cold compresses and head elevation help minimize swelling, while quiet, stress free time supports proper healing.

Follow Up Appointments

Ongoing follow up is essential for monitoring progress. Dr. Edween schedules appointments to remove sutures, evaluate healing, and ensure that your results are on track. Her attentive and supportive follow up care is one of the reasons patients feel confident throughout their recovery.

Managing Swelling and Bruising

Swelling and bruising are natural parts of facelift recovery. Patients are advised to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for several weeks. Light walking is helpful, but anything that increases blood pressure should be postponed.

Dr. Edween provides detailed instructions that offer clarity and reassurance, including guidelines on skin care, massage techniques if necessary, and how to protect the incisions.

Emotional Support and Guidance

The healing process can feel overwhelming without proper guidance. Dr. Edween’s patients appreciate her compassionate, steady support at every stage. She prepares patients for expected changes, including temporary tightness, swelling, and numbness, making the process easier to navigate.

Knowing what is normal and what requires attention helps patients stay calm and confident.

Long Term Care

As swelling subsides, final results become more visible. Patients may benefit from skin care treatments, gentle tightening procedures, or maintenance therapies to complement their facelift. An experienced Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Edween develops long term plans tailored to each patient’s goals, ensuring results remain elegant and natural for years.

The Dr. Edween Experience

What sets Dr. Edween apart in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles is her dedication to personalized care. Her support does not end in the operating room. She is committed to guiding each patient through recovery with reassurance, precision, and warmth. Her post surgical care reflects her belief that a successful facelift involves not only surgical skill, but also comprehensive support.

Correcting Structural Concerns

Rhinoplasty also involves correcting internal structures that may contribute to breathing problems or asymmetry. A deviated septum, narrow nasal valves, or displaced cartilage can cause both cosmetic and functional issues.

By addressing these concerns, rhinoplasty can improve airflow, enhance comfort, and support long term symmetry.

The Dr. Edween Difference

In Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, Dr. Edween has become known for her ability to deliver results that are incredibly natural. Her technique avoids harsh overcorrection. Instead, she aims for a balanced, elegant nose that fits your face as though it were always meant to be there.

Her approach blends surgical skill with artistic sensibility, giving her patients a unique level of refinement that elevates their natural appearance while preserving individuality.

Rhinoplasty is one of the most refined facial procedures available, and its impact extends far beyond the nose itself. Because the nose sits at the center of the face, even subtle refinements can change the way the entire face appears. When performed with precision and artistic insight, rhinoplasty brings harmony, balance, and elegance to facial features.

Why Symmetry Matters in Aesthetics

Facial symmetry plays a major role in perceived beauty. Even small irregularities in the nose can make the face look uneven. A dorsal hump, crooked nasal bridge, fracture, wide nostrils, or an overly large or drooping tip can draw attention away from the eyes and other features.

Rhinoplasty enhances appeal by reshaping the nose so it blends effortlessly with the rest of the face. The goal is not to create a nose that looks surgically sculpted. It is to refine the nose in a way that brings balance and softens distracting elements, helping your natural beauty stand out.

The Role of Facial Harmony

When we plan a rhinoplasty procedure, we evaluate the entire face. We consider jawline proportion, cheek projection, forehead balance, and eye placement. This comprehensive analysis ensures that the final outcome looks not only improved, but also harmonious.

Patients often report that after rhinoplasty, their eyes stand out more, their facial features appear more proportional, and their overall expression becomes more refined.

Eyelid surgery, or blepharoplasty, is one of the most transformative and rewarding facial procedures available. It restores brightness to the eyes, reduces heaviness, and rejuvenates the entire upper face. Still, many patients are unsure whether eyelid surgery is the right choice for their concerns. Understanding the signs, motivations, and expected outcomes can help clarify whether this procedure aligns with your needs.

Signs You May Benefit From Eyelid Surgery

Several factors can indicate that eyelid surgery may be the ideal solution for you. The most common concerns include drooping upper eyelids, puffiness under the eyes, and excess skin that interferes with a refreshed appearance. These changes can make you look tired even when you feel energetic.

Some patients also struggle with functional issues. Excess skin can weigh down the upper eyelids, making it difficult to keep the eyes open for long periods. This often leads to forehead strain, headaches, and decreased peripheral vision. If you notice these symptoms, eyelid surgery may provide both cosmetic and medical benefits.

Understanding Your Goals

Determining whether eyelid surgery is right for you starts with understanding what you hope to achieve. If you want a natural improvement that makes you look more awake, eyelid surgery can be the perfect match. Blepharoplasty does not change the shape of your eyes. Instead, it restores the youthful definition around them.

Many patients worry about looking different or overly done, but with the right surgeon, your results should look seamless and personalized.

What Is Traditional Microneedling?

Traditional microneedling involves using ultra-fine needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production—the building blocks of smooth, youthful-looking skin.

Benefits of traditional microneedling:

• Improves mild acne scars
• Softens fine lines and wrinkles
• Evens out tone and texture
• Enhances skin radiance over time
• Minimal downtime (1–3 days of redness)

This option is excellent for those in their 20s to 40s who want subtle skin improvements with little recovery time. It’s also great for maintaining healthy skin between more intensive procedures.

What Makes Morpheus8 Different?

Morpheus8 takes microneedling to the next level by combining it with radiofrequency (RF) energy, which penetrates deeper into the skin for more dramatic results. As the microneedles create controlled injuries, the RF energy heats the dermis, tightening tissue and stimulating collagen at a deeper level.

Why patients in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles love Morpheus8:

• Firms sagging skin on the face, jawline, and neck
• Improves skin laxity around jowls
• Smooths deep wrinkles and sun damage
• Minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores and acne scars
• Produces longer-lasting, more transformative results

While Morpheus8 RF microneedling may involve a longer recovery (3–5 days of redness, swelling, or flaking), many patients say the enhanced tightening and contouring effects are well worth it, which is especially true for those looking for non-surgical facial rejuvenation.

Morpheus8 vs. Microneedling: Which One Should You Choose?

Choosing between traditional microneedling and Morpheus8 depends on your goals, age, skin type, and how much downtime you can manage. At our Los Angeles-area practice, Dr. Julie Edween, DO, offers both treatments and tailors each procedure to your unique needs.

Consider traditional microneedling if you want:

• A gentle boost in tone and texture
• Minimal downtime
• Preventative or maintenance treatment

Choose Morpheus8 if you’re looking for:

• More dramatic skin tightening
• Contouring of the lower face or jawline
• Improvement in deeper wrinkles and laxity
• Long-term rejuvenation with fewer sessions

Looking for Expert Skin Rejuvenation in Beverly Hills or Los Angeles?

Whether you’re just beginning your skincare journey or seeking advanced treatments that deliver real results, our microneedling options, whether traditional or Morpheus 8, offers youthful-looking skin for everyone—no surgery required.

Schedule a consultation with Dr. Julie Edween to explore your options and discover what Morpheus8 or traditional microneedling can do for your skin.

If you’re considering eyelid surgery in Beverly Hills or Los Angeles, chances are you’ve heard the myth: “What if I don’t look like myself afterward?” This is one of the most common concerns we hear from patients thinking about blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), and it’s completely understandable.

But here’s the truth: when performed by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with expertise and artistry, eyelid surgery should never make you look like someone else. Instead, it should help you look like your best, most refreshed self.

The Truth About Blepharoplasty: Enhancing your uniqueness

Blepharoplasty is not about changing your identity, it’s about enhancing the features that make you uniquely you. Over time, the delicate skin around the eyes can sag or develop puffiness, making you appear tired, older, or even affecting your vision.

Eyelid surgery corrects this by removing excess skin and fat from the upper or lower lids. The result? A naturally rejuvenated appearance that still looks like you, just more rested and alert.

Why the “Different Face” Myth Exists

The fear of looking overdone or unrecognizable usually stems from dramatic celebrity makeovers or botched procedures in the media. But these cases are often the result of excessive surgery or poor technique—not the standard.

At our Beverly Hills plastic surgery practice, we take a conservative and customized approach to every eyelid surgery. Our goal is to enhance your facial harmony, not to disrupt it. We carefully evaluate your bone structure, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals to create results that are subtle, balanced, and unmistakably you.

Swelling is one of the most common and expected aspects of the healing process after rhinoplasty. Whether you’ve had the surgery for cosmetic enhancement, functional breathing improvements, or both, it’s important to understand that swelling is a natural response to surgical intervention—and it doesn’t mean something has gone wrong.

Why Swelling May Occur 

During rhinoplasty, changes are made to the bone, cartilage, and soft tissue of the nose. This surgical manipulation causes trauma that resulted in the inflammation as part of the body’s natural healing process. The nose, being a delicate and vascular structure, is especially prone to swelling, particularly in the soft tissues around the nasal tip and bridge.

What to Look for Immediately After Surgery

Immediately after surgery, patients can expect noticeable swelling and bruising, especially around the eyes and cheeks. This peak swelling typically occurs within the first 48–72 hours and gradually begins to subside after the first week. Cold compresses, sleeping with the head elevated, and following your surgeon’s postoperative instructions can help reduce swelling during this phase.

In the first month, much of the visible swelling resolves, allowing patients to start seeing the initial results of their new nasal contour. However, residual swelling—particularly at the nasal tip—can persist for several months, and in some cases, up to a year.

Variations in Swelling

The amount and duration of swelling can vary depending on several factors:

• Type of rhinoplasty performed (open vs. closed)
• Extent of the surgery
• Individual healing response

Skin thickness

Patients with thicker skin may notice swelling lasting longer, especially in the nasal tip. Our board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills takes these individual differences into account when planning each rhinoplasty, aiming for both aesthetic and functional success with the least downtime possible.

How to Manage Swelling

• Stay hydrated and maintain a low-sodium diet to minimize fluid retention.
• Avoid strenuous activity for several weeks after surgery.
• Follow your surgeon’s instructions, including medications and topical treatments.
• Be patient. Swelling is temporary, and your final results will become more apparent as your nose heals.

When to Be Concerned

While swelling is normal, excessive swelling accompanied by severe pain, unusual discharge, or fever could indicate an infection or other complication. Always communicate with your surgeon if you’re unsure about your symptoms.

Yes, swelling after nose surgery is entirely normal—and expected. The key is understanding the healing timeline and trusting the process. With the help of an experienced facial surgery team, patients can navigate recovery confidently and look forward to beautifully refined, functional results.
