What will be expected of me to get the best results?
Where and how will you perform my procedure or treatment?
How long of a recovery period can I expect?
What are the risks and complications associated with my procedure?
How are complications handled?
How can I expect to look over time?
Do you have before-and-after photos I can look at for this procedure?
