I went for a consultation about lower blepharoplasty / under-eye fat repositioning, and although they did not mention a specific hospital, they said that is theoretically possible but it does not work. So I asked them to explain how they do it, and they said there is nothing to explain. They just flatten the fat evenly and fix it in place. They kept repeating that they have done this surgery a lot, are good at it, and that it is permanent. They told me to ask questions, but I would need to know what exactly they do in order to ask questions, and there was no detailed explanation about the surgery.
And when I asked one question, they seemed a bit dumbfounded and said it in a way like they had tried all of that and it does not work… So I was scared to ask anything, I did not know how the surgery is done, and the consultation just ended with: it works well, there are no side effects, and it is permanent. The consultation fee felt like a bit of a waste. But it seems most older doctors do not explain very well. From a patient's perspective, during the consultation, it would have been more convincing if they had explained what they would do to my face and why there would be no side effects. They have many years of experience and a long career, so I think they would do well, but for some reason I feel hesitant.
