Before You Go

Ask your doctor how often he or she performs the procedure and request before and after photos of other patients.
Take notice of how you are treated by the office staff for a good indicator of how you will be treated should any complications arise.
Schedule a consultation separately from your first appointment to avoid an impulse buy. Ask what kind of follow-up is offered if you’re not happy with the initial results.
With many new products flooding the market, know the track record of the treatment. A good filler, for example, should have at least a five-year history of safety data.
Be wary of one-size-fits-all approaches. A specialist will offer a range of treatments to address the needs of each individual.
