Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Sarah Saxon

Sourced directly from Dr. Sarah Saxon's social posts and replies.

What kind of transformation and recovery can be expected one month after facial surgery?
Patients can achieve significant transformation just one month after surgery. At this stage, incisions are typically still a little pink, and swelling continues to subside, but patients are able to wear makeup to camouflage these as everything settles.
Source →
Is there a recommended age for facial plastic surgery or a facelift?
There is no set age for a facelift or other facial plastic surgery procedures. For the right candidate, having these procedures in their 40s can result in a natural, refreshed look that lasts for years.

How long does it take to see the final results of facial surgery?
Surgical results will continue to improve over the course of a year.
Source →
What is the recovery like one month after a deep plane facelift, neck lift, brow lift, lip lift, and autologous fat grafting?
Just one month after a deep plane facelift, neck lift, brow lift, lip lift, and autologous fat grafting, patients can be back to work and feeling amazing. While there’s still a bit of swelling and numbness, results are already stunning.

Source →
What are the goals of second-stage facial rejuvenation refinements?

Source →
What are the post-care instructions and recovery expectations for lip filler?
After lip filler, patients should ice intermittently for swelling, avoid straws for 24-48 hours, and stay hydrated. Do not massage the lips unless specifically instructed by your injector. Bruising and swelling are normal and typically peak around day 2-3, with final results settling in over the next two weeks.

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 (2024)

$60

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Sarah Saxon received $60 across 1 payment in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

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?”
