A great facelift starts long before the day of surgery. It begins in the consultation room.

Dr. Lawrence Bass and Dr. Kylie Edinger explain what a thoughtful consultation really looks like, from the questions that help surgeons understand your goals to the conversations that reveal whether your aesthetic vision aligns with theirs. They break down what happens during an exam, why photographs matter, and how to tell if a surgeon's style fits the natural look you're after.

You'll also hear their take on price versus quality, when to seek a second opinion, and why feeling heard is just as important as the technical plan. Because the best results don't start with promises—they start with trust, clarity, and collaboration.
