Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery

  • How long have you been in business?

    Winds of Change Cosmetic Surgery has been offering cosmetic surgery services since 2003.

  • How do I prepare for cosmetic surgery?

    To prepare for cosmetic surgery, it's crucial to discontinue certain medications, refrain from smoking and alcohol consumption, and make arrangements for post-operative care. Additionally, focus on maintaining a nutritious diet, staying well-hydrated, and ensuring your home environment is set up for a comfortable recovery.

  • What is the process for cosmetic surgery?

    The cosmetic surgery process starts with an initial one-on-one consultation with Dr. Sumpter where we discuss your goals, objectives, review your medical history, and determine the most suitable procedure. Once medically cleared, you'll undergo the surgery, typically under anesthesia. This is followed by a recovery period involving post-operative care and scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and results.

  • Is cosmetic surgery safe?

    While cosmetic surgery is generally considered safe, it's important to note that all surgical procedures carry some level of risk. To minimize potential complications, we recommend selecting a board-certified surgeon and strictly adhering to pre-operative and post-operative instructions.

  • Am I a good candidate for cosmetic surgery?

    We find that most interested patients are able to have the procedures desired. The ideal candidates for cosmetic surgery are individuals in good overall health, non-smokers, and those with realistic expectations about the outcomes. It's worth noting that certain health conditions may preclude some individuals from being eligible for cosmetic procedures.

  • Where will my cosmetic surgery be performed?

    Dr. Sumpter has full cosmetic and general surgery privileges at Cy Fair Surgery Center and Methodist Willowbrook Hospital. Many patients choose the ambulatory-certified surgery center as it often offers a financial benefit.

  • What is the best age to have cosmetic surgery?

    There isn't a specific age that's universally considered best for cosmetic surgery. The appropriate timing depends on the particular procedure and your individual goals. Generally, younger patients often seek enhancement procedures, while others choose procedures and treatments for lifting, reducing, and restoration benefits.
