What to expect from your plastic surgeon The process of deciding that you want plastic surgery can be a difficult one. If you still have a question in your mind as to whether or not you should get it, we offer consultations to discuss your worries and ease your mind. We want you to know as much as possible about the surgery options that you have to choose from, as well as the effects each will have on you individually. We understand that getting reconstructive surgery is life changing and can be a bit daunting, so we want to prepare you as much as possible beforehand so you have absolutely nothing to be afraid of. Before your surgery, the first thing you will do is choose a plastic surgeon and receive consultation on the surgery or surgeries that you are considering. We want you to personally get to know your surgeon so you can put your trust in them fully and understand that they are real people, too. Real people with a lot of valuable experience in the reconstructive surgery field.
Meeting the Surgeon Once you schedule an appointment, you can feel free to come into our office to learn all about your options. During this visit, be prepared to review your medical history with your doctor. Following this, you will discuss exactly which procedure you are considering. To ensure that you are choosing the procedure that is right for you, you will then have a physical exam.
Physical Examination As appropriate, you will be taken to a changing room and given an examination robe, where you will privately change clothes. Only then will the doctor reenter the room to perform the examination. During this time be sure to make the surgeon aware of any thoughts, queries, or concerns you may have about yourself or the reconstructive procedure you are considering. As it is our goal to educate you about the process of reconstructive surgery, you will be told exactly the purpose of each part of the examination. You can feel comfortable and fully aware of what is going on.
Review Options Once you have redressed, the doctor will reenter the room to make certain that you are fully aware of all your options, the possible benefits and disadvantages of each one and any risks. Just like when you are getting your hair cut, pictures do well to demonstrate exactly what it is you do and do not want. The
