A typical initial consultation with Dr. Geerlings takes about an hour. She will take photographs and listen to you as you describe what areas of concern bother you most. She will thoroughly assess your facial structure, surrounding tissues, and skin. After this information has been gathered, Dr. Geerlings will spend time educating you by explaining the factors which are contributing to your specific situation and what treatment options would work best for you. After going over her treatment recommendations, together you will then develop a plan to achieve your goals.
