Rapid Recovery™ is more than a procedure, it is a philosophy. Dr. Romo’s technique is based on his 3-steps of personalized attention for facial surgery:
- Before Surgery (Pre-Operative)
- During Surgery (Intra-Operative)
- After Surgery (Post-Operative)
This 3-step approach produces a superior surgical result and quicker recovery time.
“My patients who use MAP prior to and following their procedures not only feel better faster, but have become regular daily MAP™ users”. “The anecdotal evidence is overwhelming, and underscores the importance of a properly nourished patient, both pre- and post- operatively.”

Pre-Operative
During this process Dr. Romo answers your questions, evaluates and discusses your options, then guides you through pre-operative preparation. You will be advised to refrain from using products that increase bleeding and bruising two weeks prior to your surgery. These products include aspirin and aspirin-containing compounds, ibuprofen and ibuprofen-containing compounds, high dose vitamin E, St. John’s wart and the “G” herbs: ginseng, garlic and ginkgo biloba. You will receive holistic medicines, e.g. arnica montana and bromelain, to prevent bruising and swelling; and appropriate vitamins and supplements based on your personal medical history. This comprehensive approach will prepare your body and mind, building strength and lessening anxiety, which leads to a calmer, quicker recovery.
Intra-Operative
During surgery you are in the hands of one of the most respected facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons in the world. Dr. Romo’s innovative techniques, including the ENDOSCOPIC COMPOSITE FACELIFT™, provide superior results with an emphasis on a natural, fresh look.
Post-Operative
After surgery is a nurturing time and filled with care and attention while you are closely monitored. Our experienced recovery room nurses tend to your concerns and personal needs. This care allows the patient to feel more comfortable after surgery and provides a safeguard and early intervention for any complications.
Dr. Romo is committed to his global approach—the 3-step experience—which will provide you with a Rapid Recovery™. His years of experience, high level of skill and innovative techniques make Dr. Romo the preferred surgeon to countless high profile celebrities, yet he values every patient and treats each one as a V.I.P.
