Schedule a ConsultationYour Facial Rejuvenation Consultation
You will meet with Dr. David Cangello in our New York City office on the Upper East Side. Dr. Cangello will discuss your treatment options and the results you want to achieve, review potential side effects, and take a full medical history. During the consultation, you must be honest about your allergies, medications, personal habits, and any previous surgical procedures.
Dr. Cangello will conduct a physical examination of your face to determine if Botox injections will create the look you desire. Depending on your anatomy and skin elasticity, Dr. Cangello may suggest ancillary procedures, such as dermal fillers like Restylane® or Juvéderm®, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, fat grafting, or surgery, as alternatives or adjuncts to Botox.
Preparing for Botox
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Cangello is highly skilled in using Botox to create a safe, natural, and aesthetically pleasing outcome. For the best Botox results, patients should:
- Avoid Aspirin and NSAIDs like Advil and Aleve, or any medicine containing Ibuprofen, for two weeks to reduce bruising risks.
- Disclose any medications or supplements affecting blood clotting.
- Schedule your procedure 1–2 weeks before any major social events.

Because every patient’s needs are different, we recommend scheduling a consultation at our New York City office. During your visit, Dr. Cangello will assess your facial anatomy and create a customized treatment plan, including a full explanation of expected pricing for your Botox injections.
It’s also important to consider the qualifications of your injector when evaluating cost. While a board-certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon may charge more than other providers, their extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and daily experience performing surgical and non-surgical facial procedures make them uniquely qualified to deliver precise, safe, and natural-looking results. Choosing a less experienced injector might reduce the upfront cost, but it can increase the risk of uneven outcomes or complications—making it well worth the investment.
