I want two dimples

Postby katielynn » Sat Apr 26, 2008 11:28 pm

I am interested in getting two dimples. I know you said you like doing only one, but have you ever done two on each cheek before. Is it risky in terms that it may be non-symmetrical. I think I would like to fly out from CA to get this done. Is it hard to make appt. with you because everyone all over flies in to see you. You truly are the best doctor out there.

i have never done 2 on one side. that being said, i don't like to experiment so i would only do one. i think it is safe. i do book out during slow seasons (right now) about 2 to 3 months in advance. during busy seasons (fall) about 3 to 4 months in advance.

I think she probably meant to say 'one on each cheek'. I've never seen anybody with two dimples on one side. Have you, Dr Lam?

BTW, is it possible to do filler injection on the same day of consultation if the patient is willing to do so? If not, how long the patient normally needs to wait to get it done?

Thanks!

Joe

Interestingly, I have two dimples on each side (natural, of course). One is bigger on each side. Go figure.

Also, I can easily do fillers the same day as a consultation. Just inform my staff that you are thinking about having a procedure done the same day.
