Aesthetics is moving away from secrecy and stigma and toward education and openness. Patients are arriving at consultations more informed and asking better questions about outcomes, longevity, and limitations.

This transparency leads to:

• More realistic expectations
• Better patient-provider alignment
• Higher industry standards

Education-first communication is no longer optional. Practices that prioritize clarity, honesty, and informed consent are building stronger trust and better long-term relationships.
