Choosing Botox and fillers near Dunwoody, GA begins with understanding what you want to refine. At NewYouMD & Aesthetics in Alpharetta, we examine facial movement and structure, then explain the treatment approach that relates to your concern. Your consultation gives you space to discuss the amount of change you prefer and the care involved in pursuing it.
Begin with the feature that matters to you
Describe what you notice when you look at your face. It may be a line that appears during expression, a change in lip fullness or an area that has lost definition. We discuss the concern in relation to your other features and the result you have in mind.
During the assessment, facial movement helps show how a line develops. The appearance of the area at rest adds another part of the picture. We explain those observations while talking through the options.
Bring details of any previous facial injections or procedures. Include the areas treated and what you thought of the result. That history helps us understand your preferences and discuss the approach for this visit.
Understand the job of each treatment
Our Botox and Dysport treatments focus on muscle activity associated with expression lines. Planning can include the forehead, lines between the eyebrows and the outer-eye area. We consider the movement pattern when discussing the treatment.
With dermal fillers, the discussion centers on volume, support or shape. Lips, cheeks, the chin and the jawline are among the areas included in our service. We match the proposed product and approach to the area being considered.
We explain the role of each option in the plan, including how the intended change connects to your goal. You can compare the approaches and clarify your preferences before making a choice. The recommendation should be understandable from the assessment you have just discussed.
Prepare for the treatment conversation
Your health background, medicines and earlier procedures are part of planning. Mention allergies and any problems you have experienced with treatment. Include supplements when preparing a medicine list so the review has the information it needs.
The consultation also covers practical details. Tell us about upcoming commitments while discussing timing. We explain the anticipated course for the treatment being considered, including the instructions that follow it.
You can keep a short list of questions beside your treatment records. Use it to check that the points most important to you have been covered. We want you to understand what is proposed, why it is proposed and how the result will be reviewed.
Know the possible complications
Injection treatments can cause tenderness, bruising and swelling. Filler complications also include infection or allergic reactions. Rarely, filler entering a blood vessel can cause tissue damage, vision loss or stroke. For an overview, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration discusses filler safety, including these serious complications. We explain the risks associated with the procedure you are considering and what symptoms need urgent attention.
Keep the review connected to your goal
Aftercare includes instructions for the area treated and information about contacting the team. Keep those details available after the appointment. We explain the review timing that applies to your procedure and the questions to bring back.
At that review, describe how the area feels, how it moves and what you notice about the appearance. We relate those observations to the goal discussed before treatment. You can also clarify anything about the routine or the next stage of care.
For future visits, keep the dates and treatment details together. That makes it easier to discuss your experience over time and consider the next recommendation with your current preferences in mind.
