When we talk about facial cosmetic surgery, what comes to mind for most people is a facelift. However, there are many types of facial procedures one may consider. Whether it is a laser facelift, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, or even injectable fillers, each of these require a thorough consultation to ensure that the result will make you feel confident and rejuvenated.

There are a ton of ways to prepare for your consultation. The more information you can bring with you, the better your consultation will be. Goal setting is an important part of any procedure, and it is no different in this case. In this episode, I’ll guide you through the four main goals of a facial consultation, from pre-consultation to recovery, to help you understand what to look for and to empower you to be part of the process. 

Topics covered in this episode include:

• Goal 1: Do you and your surgeon/injector have aligned goals? The first goal is to determine if you both have the same measure of success. (02:41)
• Goal 2: Are you the right candidate? It is important to explore whether you are mentally, physically, and psychologically equipped to undergo the procedure. (06:12)
• Goal 3: Are we compatible? The relationship between you and your surgeon is a major component of the overall process. (08:04)
• Goal 4: When should I schedule my procedure? Adequate recovery time is essential and it is likely to affect your professional and personal life. Another point to consider is that many cosmetic surgeons are booked months in advance. (09:13)
• What to expect on the day of your consultation, who to bring with you, and what to consider if you are over 50 and/or have chronic medical problems, such as diabetes or high blood pressure. (14:45)
• Why evaluating your skincare plan is a vital part of the consultation. (18:59)
