Pre-consultation checklist for facial harmonization
The first consultation shapes the patient's impression of the whole clinic. A delay finding the form, a missing consent form or a disorganized room send the wrong message, and the time meant for assessment goes to logistics. Preparing the pre-consultation is a small task that frees the professional for what matters: listening, examining and explaining.
The template below is a starting point. Adapt it to your routine and to the rules of your professional council in Brazil.
What to have ready before the patient arrives?
Think of five fronts: information (what is already known about the patient), documents (record form, consent forms), environment (room and light), photography (location and device) and conversation (outline and time).
How does the consultation flow fit in?
For what to say, see the first consultation script. To prepare the photo, use the standardized photo checklist.
And Harmy in this preparation?

Frequently asked questions
What should I prepare before the first harmonization consultation?
The medical history form, the image-use release, space and light for the frontal photo, the appointment length on the schedule and, if you will use the projection, a charged device and the app ready. It also helps to reread what the patient said when booking.
How long does an assessment consultation last?
It varies with the clinic and the case. What matters is to set aside enough time to hear the patient's concerns, examine, explain the options and answer questions without rushing.
Can I ask the patient to fill in the medical history before the consultation?
Yes, many clinics send the form to be completed in advance, taking care with privacy. Go over the answers together with the patient at the consultation, because they may have questions or have forgotten something.
Does the Harmy projection belong in the pre-consultation?
It usually comes during the consultation, after the clinical assessment. In the pre-consultation, what matters is having the device charged, the light and space for the frontal photo prepared and the patient informed about the use of their image.
