Thin or thick skin: how it changes the HOF treatment planHow skin thickness affects translucency, area choice, volume and intensity in a HOF treatment plan, and how to assess the skin before deciding.
Threads and Filler: Sequencing in the Treatment PlanLift before filling? How the order of PDO threads and filler changes how results read and how much volume the facial harmonization plan needs.
Three-Quarter Facial Analysis: What the View RevealsWhat the three-quarter view shows in facial analysis: cheekbone projection, ogee curve, contour transition and folds, and how to photograph and read it.
Three-Session Facial Harmonization Plan: How to Split ItHow to structure a facial harmonization plan in three sessions with foundation, refinement, and maintenance: what goes in each, intervals, and reassessments.
Three-Year Facial Harmonization Plan: A Long-Term ViewHow to think through a three-year facial harmonization plan: split investment and stages, plan maintenance, and revise without promising results.
Total volume in full face: reference ranges by planHow to think about the approximate distribution of ml across areas in full face plans, why the total is not a target and when to split into stages.
Total volume per HOF session: reference rangesHow to think about the total volume of an HOF session in conversation ranges, with no protocol, respecting the exam, the risk and reassessment between stages.
Toxin or filler first: which order to follow in the planArguments for starting with toxin or with filler depending on the cause of the concern, with a decision table, risks, intervals and use of the Harmy simulation.
Treat the nasolabial fold or its cause in the planNasolabial folds and marionette lines are often a result of lost support. Learn how to tell the cause, decide what to treat and avoid overfilling in the plan.
Treating top to bottom or bottom to top in facial harmonizationArguments for each direction of treatment in facial harmonization, when each makes sense and how the patient and risk factor into the order of the plan.
Treatment plan validity: expiry and re-evaluationWhy a facial harmonization plan needs an expiry date, what changes over time, when to re-evaluate and how to handle the price on an expired quote.
Treatment plan versions: how to control changesHow to version the HOF plan with a date and reason, what to record at each change, how to avoid version mix-ups and how to store simulations by version.
Two-Session Facial Harmonization Plan: How to Split ItHow to split a facial harmonization plan into two sessions: criteria for separating what to do now and later, interval, reassessment, and quote.
Volume by facial type in HOF planningHow facial type (lean, full, bony or mixed) changes the ml ranges in the HOF plan and why you should not copy another patient's volume.
Volume by sex in HOF planningHow typical differences between female and male faces change the areas and ml in the HOF plan, without stereotypes and while respecting the patient's goal.
What to Include in a Written Facial Harmonization Treatment PlanStructure of the written treatment plan given to the patient: concern, areas, ml, risks, alternatives and costs, without promising results.
What to Reassess at the Follow-Up of a Harmonization PlanWhat to reassess at the plan follow-up: tissue response time, standardized photos, concern, symmetry, risks and the choice to add on, wait or stop.
What to Treat First in Facial Harmonization: Priority CriteriaInstead of a fixed list of areas, criteria to decide what to treat first: concern, structure, risk, impact on the whole face and reversibility.
When Simulation Helps in a Facial Harmonization PlanThe situations in which a simulation image truly improves decisions: communicating, comparing scenarios, aligning expectations and documenting choices.
When the facial harmonization plan must change: review triggersWeight change, age, pregnancy, complications, medication and patient preference: the triggers that call for revising the facial harmonization plan, and how.
When the plan's total volume becomes excess: objective signsObjective signs that a facial harmonization plan has gone too far: loss of proportion, a puffy look, a stiff expression and how to catch excess early.
When the problem is the bone, not the volumeLimits of filler in the face of bone deficits, signs that the skeleton is the cause and when to refer the patient instead of adding more volume.
When the simulation hurts the facial harmonization planHow a simulation can backfire in the plan: inflated expectations, dysmorphia, pressure to decide and false security. When not to show the image.
When to photograph the result after the procedureSwelling window by procedure and the best time for the result photo, with a capture standard and how to record it to compare with the projection.
When to say no to the aesthetic plan: indication criteriaClinical and ethical criteria to postpone, limit or decline a facial harmonization plan: contraindications, unrealistic expectations, dysmorphia, pressure.
When to split the total volume into more than one sessionTissue, safety and outcome criteria for splitting a facial harmonization plan's total volume into sessions, and how to explain the split to the patient.
Why a facial harmonization simulation should be subtleAnchoring, expectation and honesty: why a facial harmonization simulation should show discreet changes, and how to lead that conversation.
Why the actual result differs from the simulationSwelling, tissue, product, technique and time: why the actual result differs from the simulation, and how to explain it to the patient.
Zygomatic and lateral malar: the ogee curve in your HOF planHow to read the zygomatic and lateral malar areas in three-quarter view, the ogee curve and the smooth transition between points, with risks, stages and Harmy.
