What Is a Virtual Consultation?
A virtual consultation is a secure, HIPAA-compliant video conference with Dr. Sayah where you can discuss your aesthetic goals, receive preliminary recommendations, and determine if you are a candidate for specific procedures. Using secure video technology, you will meet face-to-face with Dr. Sayah in real-time, allowing for detailed discussion and personalized guidance without requiring travel to our Beverly Hills office.
Virtual consultations provide an excellent opportunity to explore your options, ask questions, and receive expert recommendations before committing to an in-person visit. For out-of-town and international patients, virtual consultations are invaluable for planning your surgical journey and coordinating travel arrangements.

Virtual Consultation vs. In-Person Consultation
While virtual consultations provide excellent preliminary guidance, certain situations benefit from in-person evaluation:
Virtual Consultations Are Excellent For:
- Initial assessment and candidacy determination
- Discussing procedure options and expected outcomes
- Understanding techniques and recovery expectations
- Preliminary treatment planning for out-of-town patients
- Revision surgery assessment based on photos and medical records
In-Person Consultations Are Recommended For:
- Final surgical planning and detailed measurements
- Physical examination to assess skin quality, tissue characteristics, and underlying anatomy
- Finalizing surgical approach and personalized technique selection
- Meeting our surgical team and touring our facility
- Completing pre-operative planning and scheduling surgery dates
Most out-of-town and international patients begin with virtual consultations for initial assessment, then visit Beverly Hills for in-person final planning before surgery.
Multilingual Virtual Consultations
Dr. Sayah’s fluency in English, French, Spanish, Farsi, and Italian allows comfortable virtual consultations for international patients in their preferred language. This multilingual capability eliminates communication barriers and ensures you fully understand all aspects of your care, regardless of your native language.
Our staff includes team members fluent in additional languages, providing comprehensive support throughout your virtual consultation experience and subsequent treatment planning.
