Can I have a virtual consultation?

The Detail Behind the Answer

For out-of-town patients the practical model is a virtual consultation first, then an in-person examination scheduled shortly before the operative date. This avoids two long trips while preserving the physical assessment that determines the operative plan.

The assessments that genuinely require hands are palpation of skin thickness and elasticity, the lower eyelid snap-back test, evaluation of platysmal banding on animation, and the distinction between superficial and deep submental fat. Each of these changes the operation.

• Where a figure or interval appears, it describes a typical range reported in the surgical literature and in practice, not a promise about any single case.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have a virtual consultation?

Virtual consultations are widely offered and are useful for establishing goals, discussing candidacy in general terms, and reviewing logistics. They cannot substitute for an in-person examination before surgery, because tissue quality, skin laxity, lid tone, and asymmetry cannot be assessed reliably on video.
