What to expect
A detailed consultation and assessment of your concerns will allow us to evaluate the best treatment for you. Some darkening in the tear trough area may not be solely accountable to volume loss and likewise some deformities may be better treated with a surgical approach. Further to this other areas of volume loss can be reflected by a deformed tear trough and therefore assessment is a pivotal part of our practice that allows us to obtain the best results possible.
We will discuss your options so you can make an informed decision about what treatment or package of treatment is right for you. We allow plenty of time to discuss treatment options and for you to ask as many questions as you like. Following on from a consultation, the skin is prepped and confidential photographs are taken as part of our record keeping.
