Consultation review - I now have a better perspective on my overall situation

I had a consultation with Dr. Melanie Malone on January 8th, 2024. She was very professional and kind. I came to address 3 concerns with her: neck, upper lip and nose. She listened very carefully to my concerns and asked questions to gain a complete understanding of what I wanted to do. My situation was a “more difficult case” she explained because the changes I wanted to make were very small in the neck and nose. I’m a recovering perfectionist ha ha. Dr. Malone explained the physiological structural aspect of procedures, so that I clearly understood that the adjustments sought after were not as simple as “just pulling skin a little tighter” here and there. She explained that what I was seeking called for very specific types of surgical procedures that she does not perform. The type of neck, lip and nose surgeries that Dr. Malone performs are great for the right candidate, but she honestly explained that this is not my situation. She did point me in the direction of a couple surgeons she knew to be specialists for what I was looking for in these three areas. She explained that should I proceed, I need to work with surgeons who specialize in very specific types of procedures to address my concerns.

Dr. Malone is a person of very high integrity. She is in this field for the right reasons, which is to serve her clients in the best way possible! She offered that there are many surgeons who would have said yes to the procedures I thought I needed, but that she didn’t want me to waste the money because the results would not be satisfying to me, again because the changes I’m looking for are so slight. She wanted to make sure that I didn’t waste my money! How rare is that anymore! Even though I paid a consultation fee, and I will not get to work with her, it was very much worth it for the education and clarification that she provided so that I now have a better perspective on my overall situation, and I know how to proceed with a more complete understanding.

You can be sure that if you seek a consultation with Dr. Malone or end up working with her, she is only going to do what is absolutely necessary and in your highest best interest, nothing more, nothing less. Thank you Dr. Malone!!
