With the holiday season approaching, Esthetics Center is advising patients in Sacramento, Rocklin, and El Dorado Hills to schedule consultations early this fall for facial plastic surgery or non-surgical treatments. The practice, which operates in three California locations, emphasizes that starting the conversation in September or October allows adequate time for recovery and for gradual results to develop before November and December events.
Facial plastic surgery involves recovery time that varies by procedure and by patient, making an earlier fall start date 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. According to the practice, this timing consideration is particularly important as patients prepare for holiday gatherings and year-end celebrations.
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 across 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, providing care in a medically supervised setting.
Esthetics Center builds each plan around an individual patient's goals and concerns, favoring natural-looking improvements over dramatic change. Every recommendation accounts for the patient's own timeline and priorities. "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."
This announcement matters for residents in the Sacramento, Rocklin, and El Dorado Hills areas because it underscores the importance of planning ahead for aesthetic procedures. As the demand for both surgical and non-surgical treatments continues to rise, patients who delay may find limited availability or insufficient time to achieve their desired results before holiday events. The practice's medically supervised approach and personalized care plans offer a safe and effective way for individuals to enhance their appearance while prioritizing their health and timeline.
