Desire for Holistic Change

Recognize that the change you're seeking will influence every aspect of your life. This journey is about a comprehensive, holistic transformation, not just a procedural change.

Ask yourself: Am I ready for the positive changes that this holistic transformation will have on all areas of my life?

Commitment to Self

Embarking on this transformation may require an unfamiliar and possibly uncomfortable level of commitment to yourself.

Ask yourself: Am I ready to step out of my comfort zone and invest in myself in ways I might not be used to, understanding the deep value and long-term benefits of this transformative journey?

Embracing Realistic Expectations

It’s crucial to have expectations that are aligned with a natural enhancement of your own features. Dr. Vinyard's expertise lies in accentuating your inherent beauty, not in creating an unnatural or "manufactured" appearance.

Ask yourself: Do my expectations involve looking like a better version of myself, rather than expecting to look like someone else entirely?

Understanding Limitations

Recognizing and accepting the boundaries of what can be achieved is vital. Results and treatment options can vary based on individual factors like age, anatomy, genetics, and medical and social history.

Ask yourself: Am I fully committed to adhering to Dr. Vinyard’s guidance, attending all necessary appointments, and following every instruction to safeguard the quality and longevity of my transformation results?

Acceptance of Exclusive Availability

Dr. Vinyard's thorough and personalized approach means only a limited number of patients can be accommodated. Understanding and respecting this exclusivity is important.
