This is Topic Number Five of 7 Critical Topics to Discuss With Your Plastic Surgeon Prior to Having Cosmetic Surgery

The Details of the Plastic Surgery Procedures
Ask for details!

Although the basics for most procedures may be very similar, you and your unique personal situation and health history could change the details of the procedure you are electing to have. Again, disclose all pertinent information to your surgeon during the consultation so that the details can be made as clear as possible for you.

• What exactly will the plastic surgeon be doing?
• Are there factors that may change the details of the procedure once started?
• How do you prepare yourself prior to the procedure?
• What about anesthesia? How long will the procedure take?

• Will you be required to stay in the hospital?
• What about recovery time?
• What can you expect during recovery?
• What about follow up procedures?
• Is there an emergency protocol if necessary?
• What are the long term benefits/risks?
• Are there any additional procedures that may required?

These questions are a great way to get the conversation started and will help you to get all of the details you need about the procedure. Plastic surgeons are service providers and it is your job as a consumer to get the details you need to help you decide on the provider that can best perform the service for your particular situation.

Perhaps the most important detail to think about is the physician’s bedside manner. Asking these questions and the kinds of answers and response you get from the surgeon will tell you a lot. Your comfort level is of the utmost importance and an uneasy feeling about the surgeon is a good reason to walk away and keep looking for the right person. Selecting to work with a top plastic surgeon that takes the time and effort to talk to you and make a plan that fits you as an individual is just as important as all the other factors in your decision.
