Concern 18 / In the mirror
I don’t know what I need.
02 / The part you might not say out loud
No. “This is what bothers me” is enough to begin. You can discuss the options and decide whether any of them fit your life.

It can be really intimidating to go see somebody and say there’s something about your face that makes you uncomfortable.
She cares enough to figure me out. To hear what I don’t say to see what I don’t see.
That’s exactly what we want to give to the people that come see us.

Point to what bothers you. Explain what you do not want to change. Bring your previous treatment history, medications, health concerns and any timing or budget limits. Those details help make the options useful.
A consultation is a place to understand the choices, including doing nothing. It is not a requirement to arrive already knowing which procedure to ask for.
Arrange a consultation04 / The practical part
A conversation and assessment before a treatment decision. The goal is a plan you understand: what changes, what does not, risks, recovery and price.
A consultation is different from a procedure. You can ask questions without choosing a treatment that day.
Tell us if you are working around an event or a period when you can recover. A treatment schedule should fit the real healing time.
Ask for any consultation charge when booking. Before treatment, the written plan should show the full cost, including any series, follow-up or separate facility and anesthesia charges.
05 / Real life, in my own words
This started out as a quick video to explain that my parking lot is just my favorite color because people drive around to the back looking for parking places thinking they’re all handicapped.
PS it is much easier than Pilates! 😉
