You can think of yourself as a student of cosmetic surgery. When you embark on your studies, you often have one treatment in mind. For example, a prospective patient may feel that she needs one specific treatment- for example laser treatment for her wrinkles. It is my job to educate her about options that she may have not considered. She might be an excellent candidate for Botox, or eyelid surgery, and I will not hesitate to tell her about other options, smaller ones and larger ones, their capabilities and what to expect from each procedure. Patients often come out of their consultation with a broader perspective than when they went in. They have the information they need to make their decision.
