What should I expect on my consultation with my plastic surgeon?

Question

I'm getting chin surgery done, I've made a consultation ($125 EEK) but what should I expect? I should I bring pictures of what I would like done? Will she create a computer image of what the after results might be like??

Answer 1

My first thought is that the doctor's office probably should have already told you what to bring and/or what to expect. And you certainly should feel comfortable asking them...realistic expectations and good communication with your doctor are some factors that help make plastic surgery successful. So form your good habits now and call them back to ask! Plus every doctor probably does their consultation a little differently, so you should check with them directly to see what all you need to bring.

So...that being said, I'm sending along a helpful link to questions you can ask during the consultation. I think they'll help you feel prepared and confident for the appointment...but just remember to communicate with the doctor and her staff. This is your time, your chin :), your money...ask lots of questions, share your concerns, etc. Good luck!

Your consult should be free in my opinion. But pictures should help the doc get ideas what you want. She should also tell you the down time what the procedure is, what to expect, the cost, what not to eat or take before hand. Some doctors can give you a computer image. Make sure that if the surgery doesn't come out right they will fix it free including the hospital room.

Answer 3

That $125. is just a drop in the bucket, if you are serious, have a large bank account as these operations cost a lot of money. You won't need to bring pictures, as what you think you might want, may not be right for you. The doctor will take pictures if you want to but will use a computer to show you several all around views. Most people just look at themselves from one angle, and don't consider the overall effect. Take your time as once it is done, it is done. Best wishes.

Answer 4

Pictures would help, but know that every plastic surgeon is differnt. Some have computers, some don't.

Expect her to ask you why you want it done as well as problems that could arise, healing time, what to expect before, during, and after the operation.

Answer 5

a majority of those solutions are great. the main necessary question to ask is that if the plastic wellbeing care expert is Board qualified. meaning a Board of Plastic Surgeons has reviewed his application and residency application to make particular he makes use of up as much as now innovations. As an ER wellbeing care expert with 2 years of surgical residency decrease than my belt i ought to do plastics without being qualified. Any popular practitioner with a surgical residency of a minimum of two years can carry out popular surgical operation and that consists of plastics. i do no longer think of you could want a dermatologist who could no longer make it as a wellbeing care expert yet nevertheless accomplished residency to function on you.
