Important Questions to Ask

• From where do you receive a majority of your patients?
• Am I a good candidate for facelift surgery?
• Is it possible to replace facelift with lesser invasive or non-invasive treatment alternatives?
• What would you call an excellent, average, and poor outcome from facelift surgery?
• Will you provide me with facelift before and after photographs of a few earlier patients?
• Can I talk to one of your staff members to learn more about your practice?
• Can I have access to a few testimonials of past patients who have undergone facelift or other surgeries?
• Would you recommend general or local anesthesia in my case for facelift surgery?
• Is your practice well-equipped to handle any emergency medical situations?
• Will I be able to meet you personally during all my visits to your office regarding facelift?
