- Research the Procedure
Before stepping into the consultation room, make sure you understand the procedure you’re considering. Knowing the details helps you have an informed discussion with your surgeon.
- Bring Visual Aids
Visual references can make a big difference. Bring photos of the desired results and old pictures of yourself for comparison. This will help your surgeon better understand your goals.
- Prepare Questions
Having a list of questions ensures you cover all your concerns. Some questions might be:
- Am I a good candidate for surgery?
- What are the associated risks?
- What will recovery be like?
- What is your aftercare like?
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons has a great checklist of questions to ask during your consultation.
- Keep an Open Mind
Realistic expectations are key. Be open to your surgeon’s professional advice and understand that results can vary.
- Financial Planning
Know your budget and plan accordingly. Cosmetic procedures can be costly, so it’s important to consider all financial aspects.
For the convenience of our patients, we offer several payment options for our surgical and nonsurgical procedures and products. We accept all major credit cards, PatientFi, CareCredit, and Prosper Healthcare Lending financing programs.
- Medical History
Be prepared to discuss your medical history. List any medical conditions and medications you’re taking. This information is crucial for your safety.
- Honest Conversation
Be open about your goals and desired outcomes. Honest communication with your surgeon helps ensure you’re both on the same page.
Navigating your cosmetic consultation can be daunting, but with these tips, you’ll be well-prepared to make informed decisions about your journey.
