Questions to Ask Your Brow/Forehead Lift Plastic Surgeon

A detailed consultation process forms the foundation of every successful cosmetic surgery procedure. The consultation involves an in-depth discussion with the surgeon, where the patient will have the chance to clarify any doubts that they may have. 

The patient should feel free to ask any questions that they may have to derive the most value from their consultation as well as be able to make a judicious decision. 

While there are certainly no ‘wrong’ questions to ask during the consultation, there are some important questions that the patient should ask before a brow lift surgery. The surgeon will spend time in clarifying the patient’s concerns in a detailed manner to allow them to make an enlightened choice.
