The Consultation Process

Many plastic surgeons do not charge for the initial consultation. The surgeon will evaluate your medical history and ask about your health habits. Be as honest and upfront as possible in answering each question.

Be specific about what you want done, and what you hope to achieve. If your plastic surgeon fully understands your expectation, he or she will be able to determine whether or not your goals are realistic.

Tell the surgeon if you smoke, or have health or medical conditions or complications. The surgeon will ask you about you family medical history, especially your parents and siblings. He or she may want to run some tests to rule out certain diseases.

Ask questions and request specific, not vague, answers. If you have any concerns, share them. Discuss with the surgeon what procedure is right for you, and ask exactly what that procedure will entail.
