Abstract
Establishing good rapport with patients is important during the initial consult, especially in aesthetic medicine. While experienced physicians develop expertise in cultivating a positive patient experience, younger physicians may benefit from some guidance. We describe the L.E.A.P (Listen, Educate and Empower, Align, Perform) method which may help guide young physicians through a successful cosmetic consult. In addition we will review the B.L.A.S.T (Believe, Listen, Apologize, Satisfy, Thank) method for dealing with unhappy patients.
