We need to broaden patient's perspective - MD Codes

We have to understand something that is crucial for us. There is a very important point when I put this I would say this equation here which is [music] the hierarchy one which is the facial message it is formed by what I see in the facial units and what I see in the facial subunits. [music] So take a look. When I try to identify where I have to [music] focus on to change the unfavorable facial messages, [music] I have to identify piece by piece what is [music] optimal, what is favorable, what is acceptable and what is unfavorable. [music] After we had this brief understanding of facial assessment, I will let you know about what patient wants. [music] In my consultation, I usually ask the patient to look in the mirror and point [music] three areas. And I would like to compare with you because I also take photos [music] and I ask the patient to compare, right? They ask the three areas in the mirror and then three areas [music] in the photo. So when she looked in the mirror, she told me my number one is cheek, number two forehead lines, number three nasol photo. But when I presented this [music] photo to her, okay, she assessed only this photo at rest. She told me my number one area now is my lips. My second one it was the eye corner [music] and my third one was the double chin. So interestingly if we are trying to deliver an optimal result I sometimes wonder if I only delivered her patient once right when she looked in the mirror if I would be able to deliver an impactful positive result to her. So when I asked her to assess her photos, [music] as you may see here, she pointed out for me six areas that I have to coordinate and explain to her that [music] I possibly have to approach all of them right [music] in a sequence that I would make the most of her treatment. And what I think is so powerful during the consultation to use mirrors [music] and photos is because it definitely broadens patients [music] perspective on treatment areas. I also experienced patients that they pointed in the mirror, okay, three areas and when they looked in the [music] photo, they continue to point in the same areas. And uh sometimes [music] is because the patient are so attracted for those [music] areas that they don't want to see anything else. And that's why sometimes [music] patients requests are more emotional linked than [music] concretely linked. So whenever they say, "Oh, I hate this line." Okay. However, when I compare the problems of [music] a prominent lifog versus the double chin and the patient even doesn't mention the double chin, I see that there is this kind of emotional attachment to certain areas that [music] not necessarily even being corrected will deliver patient satisfaction.
