The success of the facial plastic surgery depends very much upon the first consultation.   In the initial consultation you may discuss your motivations and desires with your physician.  Your surgeon will listen to your wishes, reasons and expectations and carefully examine the areas of your face you want to correct or improve.  You and your plastic surgeon must observe your past medical history, past surgery history, drug allergies, medical treatments, and current medications. In the same way, he may evaluate your health condition, recommend you some lab testing, and x-ray studies, as well as he may perform a visual study. 

In a second consultation your physician will evaluate the results of your lab report and x-ray studies.  In order to visualize the surgical possibilities, you and your surgeon will examine every angle of your face through the computerized images.
