During the consultation, Dr. Smith
will examine your facial structure, the condition of
your skin and your hairline in order to decide where
incisions should be made. A thorough medical history
will be obtained so that Dr. Smith can consider any
medical conditions that may heighten surgical risks.
A detailed description of the procedure will also include
a discussion of risk involved.
After the decision to proceed with
surgery is made, Dr. Smith will describe the technique
indicated, the type of anesthesia, the surgical facility,
any additional surgery and the risks and costs.
