Before your Procedure
Following a healthy, and anti-inflammatory lifestyle for 1-2 weeks before your procedure will help you realize your best results. This includes:
-
Hydrate appropriately- drink 90-100 ounces of water per day (or more if needed)
-
Drink another 8-12 ounces of water for every cup of coffee or caffeinated drink
-
Avoid inflammatory foods including excessive sugar, fried foods, or fast food

Eat your vegetables- especially dark green/leafy ones like broccoli and kale

Wear sunscreen and a sunhat when outdoors

-
Make sure to try and get adequate sleep prior to your procedure

Avoid aspirin, aspirin containing compounds, and NSAIDS (over the counter anti-inflammatories) unless instructed by a physician, as these medications can thin your blood leading to increased swelling, bleeding, and bruising.

Testimonials
“I am a long-standing patient of Doctor Goldman’s whom I first consulted for a facelift in 2012. Looking freshened and delighted with the results, I returned last year for another surgery which made how I looked match the way I felt. Before, during, and following both procedures Dr. Goldman was attentive, answered questions, and inquired about my comfort. Because of increased wrinkling around my lower face, last week I underwent the Ellacor procedure. Dr. Goldman continued to be his attentive and concerned self. I must add that his staff is delightful!

“Dr. Goldman is great and has always gone above and beyond to take care of me! He’s got a great bedside manner and regularly checks in to make sure. I understand the treatment plan and don’t have additional questions. I’ve been very happy with Dr. Goldman and would 100% recommend him!

“I had a blepharoplasty done in early August by Dr. Goldman, and I am loving the result! I was nervous at first, but Dr. Goldman was patient and attentive, not to mention skilled at his job. The procedure went quickly and was painless. It took about three weeks for me to recover (puffy/swollen eyes and bruising) and for major differences to appear. I would stress that constant icing is critical in the initial healing process. It’s a process I readily recommend, and Dr. G is a pro!”
