Written treatment plan template for facial harmonization
A written treatment plan gives the patient something that conversation alone does not: a clear path. They see which areas will be treated, in what order, over what time and what to expect from each stage. For the professional, the plan avoids improvisation and records the reasoning.
The template below is designed for orofacial harmonization (HOF), with stages and intervals. It sits between the area treatment planning form and the staged plan acknowledgment.
What must the plan include?
| Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Overall goal | Summarize the concern and the realistic target |
| Stages | Show the sequence |
| Areas per stage | Tie the plan to the assessment |
| Intervals | Anticipate the time between stages |
| Estimated costs | Provide financial predictability |
| General care and risks | Align expectations |
| Reassessment | State when the plan is reviewed |
| Signatures | Record acknowledgment |

How do you present it without pressure?
Present the plan in a calm conversation and hand over a copy. Explain each stage in one sentence: "First we support the middle third; after 30 days, we assess the contour." If the patient wants to think about it, let them. Plans presented calmly tend to produce less regret and better follow-up attendance.
For conversation ideas, see presenting before and after at the consultation and patient objections and answers.
Harmy's role in the consultation
Use these screens to support the conversation and make clear that the written plan is the reference document. The illustrative simulation can show one area at a time, which pairs well with a staged plan.
Keeping the plan up to date
Keep the plan in the patient record and update it after each completed stage: what was done, in how many ml, with what response. If the course changes, note the reason and talk to the patient. A plan that follows the actual progress is far more useful than a document that has sat in the folder since day one.
When the stages are finished, hold a closing consultation with comparison photos and propose the maintenance plan, if there is one. That way the treatment ends with a clear summary, and the patient leaves knowing what to do next.
Frequently asked questions
Is a treatment plan the same as a quote?
No. The plan describes what will be done, in what order and why. The quote describes how much it costs. The two complement each other, and many professionals hand them over together.
Does the patient need to sign the plan?
It is not mandatory in every case, but the signature documents that the plan was presented and understood. Procedures have their own informed consent forms, which the plan does not replace.
Can I change the plan after it is signed?
Yes, for clinical reasons or at the patient's request. Record the change with the date, explain the reason and, if it is relevant, update the consent.
How does Harmy help when presenting the plan?
The Before/After slider, presentation mode and the PDF quote help guide the conversation. The projection is illustrative and does not replace the written clinical plan.
