Checklist: this is how a professional consultation proceeds

The consultation is the beginning of a treatment and should therefore be conducted just as professionally and carefully as every other step. You can read what you should look out for in our article.

The decision to have an aesthetic treatment is often bound up with questions, worries and uncertainty. That is precisely why your doctor must take enough time to clear up your fears and to understand your wishes.

You will also find the following list in Dr. Kuzbari's book "Unters Messer oder auf die Couch", and it shows which points should definitely be dealt with at the initial consultation.

2) Was I able to articulate my wishes and ideas precisely?
