You must have a comprehensive pre-evaluation analysis of your case with your surgeon. The best thing to do is send photos of the area that you are interested in and have the surgeon offer his professional opinion. The most important thing is if he will be able to provide the result that you are looking for, the surgeon must give you a clear and logical explanation of the process, preparation, procedure, and after care.
