Consultation Process
Dr. Fechner believes that the consultation is the cornerstone of a successful doctor patient relationship. He takes the time to meet with his patients and teach them about his approach while really getting to know their own individual goals and concerns. Dr Fechner’s unique approach fosters an open and honest dialogue that sets the tone for the journey toward self-improvement that they are embarking on.
After a thoughtful and thorough discussion, Dr. Fechner conducts an in-depth evaluation of the overall aesthetics and anatomy of the patient’s face and reviews their medical and surgical history. In addition, Dr. Fechner discusses important health and lifestyle issues that can impact a patient’s surgery including the use of cigarettes and overall weight and fitness. For some patients, surgery is not medically advisable until these health and lifestyle issues have been addressed. It is for these patients that Dr. Fechner has devised the Reveal a Better You program. Reveal a Better You not only prepares patients for surgery, but challenges them to make an investment in their life overall resulting in improved health, a better self-image and optimal results after cosmetic facial surgery.
After agreeing with Dr. Fechner on a timeframe toward the surgical procedure such as a facelift, patients invited to join the Reveal a Better You program begin a supportive and encouraging process toward achieving their individual lifestyle goals.
