How Does It Work?
Consultation covers anatomy, medical history, photos, and a plan. Treatment may use a needle, a blunt cannula, or both. Swelling can hide the final shape until it settles. A follow-up after swelling is gone is the usual time to judge symmetry.
About 15–30 minutes of treatment time depending on areas; plan 30–60 minutes for the visit.
