Your Dream Wedding Look: A Cosmetic Procedures Timeline

From the gown that you will wear to the cake that you will slice, you have likely been dreaming about the details of your wedding for years. Now, the moment is finally here—you are planning your wedding, and you want to look your best for the love of your life.

Whether you are interested in plastic surgery procedures that will revitalize your appearance or non-surgical cosmetic procedures that will rejuvenate your look, Dr. Christopher Schaffer can make your wedding dreams come true. This timeline will help you strategically schedule your procedures so that you can make that jaw-dropping entrance on your wedding day.

12 Months Before Your Wedding Day: Comprehensive Consultation

If you are interested in having a plastic surgery procedure or cosmetic enhancement performed before your wedding, it is essential to begin the planning process at least one year before the big day. During this initial consultation, Dr. Christopher Schaffer can discuss your goals and develop a personalized treatment plan.

9-12 Months Before: Major Procedures

Plastic surgery procedures may be designed to improve your overall appearance, but they are still major surgical procedures. If you want to have significant surgery done before your wedding day, such as a rhinoplasty or breast augmentation, you should schedule your surgery about 9 to 12 months in advance. This allows you to have adequate time for recovery and will ensure that your full results will be displayed by the time the wedding day arrives.

6-9 Months Before: Body Contouring and Liposuction

Body contouring procedures are popular among brides because they allow them to achieve their desired silhouette before their wedding, giving them an opportunity to wear the gown of their dreams as they dance with their new spouse. Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat in targeted areas, whereas CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure that can enhance the overall shape and silhouette of the body. By having these types of procedures performed at least 6 to 9 months before your wedding, you can ensure that you will be fully healed and looking your best on your wedding day.

3-6 Months Before: Skin Rejuvenation

If you have always imagined yourself as a blushing bride, then you may want to consider skin rejuvenation procedures to achieve that wedding day glow. Laser treatments and chemical peels can be performed to minimize the appearance of acne scars and improve the overall texture of your skin. These treatments should be completed at least 3 to 6 months before your wedding to put the full results on display.

1-3 Months Before: Non-Invasive Enhancements

In the months leading up to your wedding, you will begin focusing more on the details—not only with the event but also with your appearance. Non-invasive, non-surgical procedures, such as Botox and other injectable fillers, can help smooth out any fine lines and wrinkles on your face. In addition, when strategically placed, these fillers can enhance your natural facial features, allowing you to smile throughout the day with confidence.

These procedures are known for their instant results and quick recovery process, making them the ideal cosmetic enhancement to schedule about 1 to 3 months before your wedding.

1 Month Before: Final Touch-Ups

In the weeks leading up to your wedding, you can work with Dr. Schaffer to perform the final touch-ups to complete your bridal look. Non-invasive treatments, such as microdermabrasion or a hydrating facial, can lead to a radiant complexion on your wedding day.

Post-Treatment Maintenance

Even as the excitement of the wedding and honeymoon fades away, you should continue to prioritize your refreshed and revitalized look. Through proper skincare, healthy habits and ongoing follow-up appointments, you can look like the best version of yourself throughout your entire marriage.

Patient Testimonials

Dr. Schaffer and his staff are wonderful. I had a breast augmentation done in September and I absolutely love my results. I was so nervous and had a lot of questions and concerns, and he took the time to answer all of them and made sure my experience was great. I highly recommend him.
