YOUR BRIDAL CONSULTATIONLeah Corredora, PA-C
A plan that feels like you.

From engagement photographs to the wedding itself, make room for considered choices, treatment, and time to settle.

01 / THE CONSULTATION

A plan built
around you.

You can arrive with a question. You do not need to arrive with a procedure selected.

Meet Leah

Your features. Your priorities.
Every date that matters.

Leah is a board-certified physician assistant with experience in cosmetic dermatology and plastic surgery. Your consultation begins with what you hope to change, what you want to preserve, and your previous treatment experience.

01

Your goals

Skin, expression lines, facial contours, or a specific concern.

02

Your calendar

Engagement photos, fittings, travel, and the wedding.

03

Your options

Suitable care, recovery, follow-up, and costs.

Your plan can focus on one concern or a series of appointments. Your plan can focus on skin alone. Filler is considered only if it fits your goals.

02 / EXPLORE YOUR OPTIONS

What would you
like to focus on?

Start with your goals. Leah will help you compare appropriate options for your skin, your features, and the time available.

01

Skin texture and tone

Discuss uneven texture, discoloration, or how your skin looks under makeup. Leah can assess suitable options, with treatment depth, your skin’s response, and healing time guiding the plan.

02

Expression lines

Botox may be considered for forehead lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet. If you are new to treatment, starting well before the wedding leaves time to understand your response and discuss it at follow-up.

03

Facial volume and definition

Dermal fillers may be an option for selected concerns involving lips, cheeks, or facial contours. Leah will assess whether filler fits your goals. A plan focused on skin is also an option.

04

Nonsurgical body treatments

Discuss Emsculpt Neo for selected body-contouring goals, allowing for a treatment series and the time over which changes develop. If your goals may be better addressed surgically, our team can help arrange a consultation with Dr. Smith.

03 / THE MONTHS AHEAD

Good timing
is part of the plan.

Begin early when you can. Your clinician will tailor the timing to the treatment, your response, and the events on your calendar.

9–12 months BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

Start with your goals

Review your goals, photographs, and event calendar. Arrange an early consultation with Dr. Smith if you are considering surgery.

6–9 months BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

Allow time for gradual change

Consider treatments whose effects build gradually or require several appointments. Plan recovery and review points before choosing dates.

4–6 months BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

Assess progress and first treatments

Review skin-treatment progress and discuss any first-time injectable trial. Resurfacing needs its own recovery plan based on treatment depth and skin response.

3–4 months BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

Make room for every event

Reassess priorities and coordinate any planned treatment series around photographs, fittings, and travel.

4–6 weeks BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

Leave time to review results

Allow time for a planned Botox treatment and follow-up when appropriate. Avoid relying on a last-minute change to achieve a new result.

FINAL 2 WEEKS BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

Stay with your established routine

Any final skin treatment should already be part of your plan and based on your known response.

Finishing treatment and feeling ready for photographs can happen at different times. Leave room for healing and review.

04 / SURGICAL PLANNING

Considering surgery
before your wedding?

Meet with Darren M. Smith, MD, FACS, a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, to discuss your goals and recovery in the context of your wedding plans.

Arm liposuction, chin liposuction, breast procedures, and other body-contouring options require their own assessment. Bring your dates for photographs, final dress fittings, travel, and your honeymoon.

06 / YOUR QUESTIONS

A little clarity,
before you begin.

Wondering where to start? These are some of the questions we can explore together.

Ask us about your plans
When should I book a bridal aesthetic consultation?

If possible, begin planning 9 to 12 months before your wedding, especially if you have several goals or are considering surgery. Earlier planning creates room for treatment, healing, and follow-up. A shorter timeline may still allow a focused plan, depending on your goals and treatment history.

When should I get Botox before my wedding?

Discuss a final treatment around 4 to 6 weeks before the wedding so there is time to assess the response and arrange follow-up when appropriate. If you have never had Botox, consider a trial several months earlier. Your clinician will set the interval based on your response and previous treatment.

How far before a wedding should I get lip filler or other dermal filler?

For a first treatment, begin the discussion several months ahead so there is time for swelling to resolve and for the result to be reviewed. The appropriate interval depends on the product, treatment area, and your response. A possible adjustment should be part of the plan rather than something you depend on immediately before the wedding.

What skin treatments are best before a wedding?

The right option depends on the concern you want to address, your skin, and the time available. A gentle skin treatment, a peel, and CO2 resurfacing have different purposes and recovery needs. Leah can help you compare suitable choices and decide whether a single treatment or a series makes sense.

Can I have a bridal treatment plan without filler?

Yes. Your consultation can focus on skincare, skin treatments, expression lines, or another specific concern. Filler is considered only if it is appropriate for your goals. The aim is a plan you understand and feel comfortable choosing.

Can treatment be planned around engagement photos and a bachelorette trip?

Yes. Bring all your important dates, including travel and anticipated sun exposure. We will discuss how treatment, healing, and follow-up could fit around them. The plan may need to leave different buffers for different procedures.

What if my wedding is only a few weeks away?

Arrange a consultation before choosing a procedure. Your options depend on the time available, the treatment, and whether you have had it before. The recommendation may be a limited plan, continuation of an established routine, or postponing a new procedure until after the wedding.

How early should I consider liposuction before a wedding?

Arrange a surgical consultation well in advance and allow for a recovery plan measured in months when appropriate. Readiness for work does not establish readiness for final dress fittings, travel, or wedding photographs. Dr. Smith will discuss timing for the particular procedure and your individual circumstances.

Should I book with Leah or Dr. Smith?

Book with Leah for injectables, skin treatments, and nonsurgical aesthetic care. Book with Dr. Smith if you are considering surgery. If your goals may involve both, contact our team for help choosing the first appointment.

Can mothers of the bride or groom and partners book?

Yes. Mothers of the bride or groom and partners can arrange their own consultation. Each person’s goals, treatment choices, and timing are assessed individually.
