Why might this treatment suit me?
Ask how far filler could address your concern and which expectations it cannot meet. Suitability requires assessment of skin, facial proportions and health. Fillers are not suitable for everyone; certain allergies or bleeding problems may change the assessment. No treatment or another approach may also be options. Explaining your own goal clearly supports this discussion.
How should I describe previous treatment?
Share dates of previous facial treatments and the material used, if known. Bring records or product information where available. Mention previous swelling, firmness, allergic reactions or dissatisfaction. Discuss ongoing conditions, medicines and recent health problems too. If you cannot remember a detail, say so rather than guessing.
Do I understand the proposed material?
Ask about the filler’s composition, why it has been selected and how long its effect is expected to last. Having product information explained helps you understand the process. Calling a material temporary does not mean it can always be easily removed. Learn about possible correction methods and their limitations before thinking of treatment as entirely reversible.
Which symptoms require help?
Ask how to distinguish expected effects such as bruising and swelling from symptoms that need prompt assessment. Unexpected severe pain, marked skin colour changes or a change in vision after filler require urgent medical assessment without delay. In particular, do not wait for a message reply if your vision changes. Clarify how complications are managed and which contact route to use before treatment.
Is the review and decision process clear?
Discuss review timing, how early swelling may affect assessment and what happens if you are unhappy with the result. Ask what the fee includes and about possible additional assessments. Request clarification before deciding if anything is unclear. A useful consultation helps you understand the recommendation and its limits, rather than simply choose more treatment.
