The consultation is the most important step of any facial procedure. It is where your goals, your anatomy and the surgeon's experience meet. A little preparation makes it much more valuable.
Before the appointment
- Write down what you would like to change and why
- List your medications, supplements and any allergies
- Gather reports from any previous facial or nasal surgery
- Note your questions, so nothing is forgotten
During the consultation
Expect a conversation about your goals, an examination and, usually, standardised photographs. A good consultation includes an honest explanation of what is realistic, the risks involved and what recovery will look like.
Online first?
If you live outside Riyadh, an online consultation can be a helpful first step. A definitive surgical plan, however, always requires an in-person examination.
