Four questions for the chair

You do not need to memorize a medical textbook before a consultation. Four questions can turn a treatment recommendation into a decision you actually understand.
Small, slow and gentle

A modest goal and time to think can make a treatment plan easier to judge. They do not turn a medical procedure into a risk-free one.
What does a face really cost?

A headline total cannot tell you what your own care will cost. A written quote, a realistic schedule and a clear stopping point are more useful places to start.
What year is on the tray

Before an injection, ask to see what is being used. The name, source and expiration date all matter; none of them can be replaced by a reassuring-looking box.
Who holds the syringe

A beautiful room tells you very little about the person treating you. Before an injectable appointment, put a name, a license and a clear plan to the person behind the needle.
