Eyes are an aesthetically prominent part of the face, and they are also the most delicate external organ in the body. Therefore, it is vital for a patient to make an informed and rational decision about a procedure such as lower eyelid surgery and choose the best possible surgeon for their needs.
During the initial consultation, the surgeon will encourage the patient to ask questions and clarify all their doubts and concerns. The first concern of a dedicated surgeon will be to educate the patient about the procedure and allow them to make a well-considered choice.
