A consultation is a great time to get to know your doctor and become educated about your procedure. Be sure to enter your consultation with a prepared list of questions to ensure you can get a full understanding of your procedure. Also, use your consultation time to accurately and effectively communicate the results that you want. If you don’t know how to describe what you want verbally, consider bringing in pictures. Remember, however, not all faces are the same. Your doctor should tell you if your beauty ambitions are realistic and/or healthy.
