Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Min S. Ahn

Sourced directly from Dr. Min S. Ahn's social posts and replies.

When can patients expect to see early changes after surgery?
Patients often begin to see early changes take shape by day 6 post-op, though healing is still very much in progress at this stage. Even with normal swelling on Day 1 post-op, improvement in neck contour and jawline can be visible, and loose skin can appear repositioned and tightened.
Source →
What is Fraxel laser resurfacing used for?
Fraxel laser resurfacing is performed to improve overall skin quality and texture.
Source →
What is the recovery process like for Fraxel laser resurfacing?
During Fraxel recovery, some of the treated skin has yet to fully shed, revealing fresh skin underneath as the resurfacing process continues.
Source →
When can Botox be administered after other facial procedures?
Botox can be administered approximately 2 months post-op as a finishing aesthetic touch.
Source →
Who assists Dr. Ahn with aesthetic treatments?
Rebecca Hoffey, BSN, RNFA, CANS, performs finishing aesthetic touches and advanced aesthetic treatments.
Source →
When are sutures typically removed after surgery?
Suture removal is anticipated at the Day 7 post-operative appointment.
Source →
Is 4-4.5 weeks post-op the final result for facial rejuvenation?
No, four to four and a half weeks post-op is not the final result for facial rejuvenation procedures. Swelling continues to resolve, tissues settle, and results refine over many months. The first few days are not representative of the final outcome.
Source →
When is a good time for skin rejuvenation treatments?
After a summer of sun, heat, and time outdoors, August is often recommended as a perfect time to start thinking about restoring, refreshing, and rejuvenating your skin.
Source →
What happens at the first post-operative visit?
At the first post-operative visit, dressings are removed, incisions are cleaned, and everything is checked by Dr. Ahn. He reviews healing progress and explains what to expect over the coming days and weeks.
Source →
What are common expectations for the first 24 hours post-op?
Swelling and tightness are completely expected during the first 24 hours post-op.
Source →
What are the dietary recommendations post-op?
Eating takes time post-op; soft foods and small bites are recommended. Staying hydrated and prioritizing protein are essential for healing.
Source →
How should ice be used after surgery?
Dr. Ahn carefully reviews how and when to use ice after surgery, explaining that excessive icing can interfere with healthy blood flow and healing. Gentle icing as directed is part of the post-operative routine.
Source →
What is the post-operative routine after dressing removal?
Once the dressing is removed, the post-operative routine includes gentle icing as directed, saline cleansing of incisions, application of healing ointment, and close monitoring of swelling and bruising.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$3,940

Payments

17

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Min S. Ahn received $3,940 across 17 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
