Show the Doctor a Photo First — Then Decide If a Trip Is Worth It

No. Online evaluation gives an educational preliminary direction based on the photos and description you provide — whether it needs treatment, the likely category, and possible next steps. A true diagnosis still requires an in-person visit: photos cannot show deep layers or texture, and palpation plus ultrasound is needed to judge clearly. Its purpose is to give you a direction before making the trip.

A few shots in natural light from several angles — front, left and right sides, plus a close-up if the issue is localized. No makeup, no filters or skin-smoothing, so it reads accurately. If you have records of the original treatment (what was injected, how much, and when), including them helps.

Each person's situation and approach differ, so cost and timing cannot be generalized online. These are explained per your individual case via LINE or at an in-person visit — the online evaluation step focuses first on "whether to treat and what direction."

Yes, that is exactly what online evaluation is for. Send photos via LINE or Email for a preliminary direction first. If an in-person visit is needed, most procedures are outpatient and a trip is usually arranged over 3–5 days: pre-op consultation, procedure day, and 1–2 days of post-op follow-up.
