With the holiday season approaching, patients considering facial plastic surgery or non-surgical aesthetic treatments need to plan ahead to allow for recovery and gradual results. Esthetics Center, a medical aesthetics practice with locations in Sacramento, Rocklin, and El Dorado Hills, is encouraging individuals to schedule consultations early this fall. The practice emphasizes that starting the conversation in September or October provides a buffer for the recovery time required after surgery or the multiple visits often needed for injectables and skin rejuvenation to take full effect.
Facial plastic surgery involves downtime that varies by procedure and patient, making an early fall start practical for anyone with a specific event or trip on the calendar. Non-surgical treatments, including injectables and skin rejuvenation procedures, also develop results gradually and may require more than one visit to reach the intended outcome. By advising patients to begin now, Esthetics Center aims to reduce the stress of last-minute procedures and ensure that results are fully realized in time for holiday gatherings.
The practice is led by Dr. Reginald Rice, who is double board-certified in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and otolaryngology (head and neck surgery). Dr. Rice has treated more than 12,000 patients over more than 25 years of practice and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. He leads a clinical team that includes cosmetic nurse injectors, physician assistants, and aesthetic nurse practitioners, all operating in a medically supervised setting.
Esthetics Center builds each treatment plan around an individual patient's goals and concerns. The practice's approach favors natural-looking improvements over dramatic change, and every recommendation accounts for the patient's own timeline and priorities. This personalized method ensures that patients receive care tailored to their specific needs, whether they are seeking surgical or non-surgical options.
"Every fall, patients ask us how soon they need to start to be ready for the holidays," said Dr. Reginald Rice, founder of Esthetics Center. "The honest answer is that it depends on what they're considering, which is exactly why we'd rather have that conversation in September than in November."
The announcement underscores a broader trend in medical aesthetics: as demand for cosmetic procedures rises during the holiday season, early planning becomes essential to avoid scheduling conflicts and ensure optimal outcomes. With three California locations, Esthetics Center is positioned to serve patients across the region who want to look their best for upcoming celebrations. For those considering facial plastic surgery or non-surgical treatments, the message is clear: starting the process now can make all the difference.
