My Friend Got Great Results from Aesthetic Treatment — Can I Just Copy It?
At Gangnam Choice Clinic, consultations often start with a patient who wants the same treatment a friend had great results with. We first point out that your friend's masseter muscle issue and your fat issue are not the same thing — your friend may have laxity while you may have none, so your own face comes first.
A friend finishes an aesthetic treatment and says it worked really well, and you want the same thing done — this is a situation Gangnam Choice Clinic runs into often during consultations. We usually ask the person to pause first: your friend's problem and your problem are not necessarily the same thing.
Why can't I just copy my friend's treatment?
Because your friend may have a masseter muscle issue, while you may have a fat issue.
The same sentence — "it worked incredibly well" — can sit on top of completely different situations. At the consultation, we set your friend's face aside first and look at your face on its own.
What do we look at first during the consultation?
We look first at which situation you fall into, not at what your friend had done.
- Your friend may have a masseter muscle issue, while you may have a fat issue
- Your friend may have laxity, while you may have none at all
We draw these two distinctions first, and only then talk about what comes next.
