Define Your Goals

Take the time to write out exactly what you are looking for from this specific procedure as well as your “Big Picture” goal. Making sketches or finding photographs online will also be helpful. The more accurately you can define your goals, the better your surgeon will understand and be able to help you accomplish your goals. Pay close attention during the consult – does your surgeon appear to be on the same page?

Research Your Desired Procedure

It is always best to do your homework before your consultation. Reading up on the specific procedure you desire will help you ask the right questions during the consultation. It will also make it easier to understand what your surgeon has to say about your specific procedure.

 

Wear Clothing that Can Easily Be Removed

If you are looking to get breast or body surgery, it is important to wear clothing that is easy to remove. Your surgeon may want to perform an examination to help them determine exactly what they can do for you. A button up shirt is best when getting a consultation for breast augmentation.

 

Organize your Medical History

Make a list of your current medications and a report of your health history so that the doctor will be better able to plan your procedure. The surgeon needs to be aware of any potential problems that may arise during and after the procedure.
