Breast augmentation consultation
A consultation session with the surgeon is extremely important. This is the time when patient can actually ask as many questions and seek answers. Also, they must share all the past medical history, complications faced, procedures are undertaken and existing health conditions with the surgeon.
Here is what the surgeon will gather through questions:
- Why do the patient want a breast augmentation surgery?
- What are the desired outcomes, expectations and the resulting appearance in mind?
- Is the patient on any medications, vitamins, supplements or diet regime?
- Is the patient allergic to any substances or medications?
- Did the patient undergo any medical treatments or surgical procedures in the past?
- Is the patient suffering from any chronic or life-threatening disorder?
- Is the patient suffering from any mild disorder?
- Is the patient on drugs, alcohol or smoke?
- Do the patient have any family history of breast cancer? Any results or mammograms or biopsies related to that may be asked.
Questions to ask your surgeon before Breast Augmentation Surgery
Here is a rundown of all the questions that the patient must ask the surgeon:
- What is breast augmentation and how it works in favour?
- What are the risks and complications associated with breast augmentation?
- Why should one opt for it and not a simple breast lift?
- What are the possible choices on implants based on patient’s anatomy, need and desire?
- What size and shape patient can attain after augmentation?
- How long the surgery goes on and what is the recovery period?
- What is the cost of absolute surgery?
- What all activities can the patient indulge in and what to avoid during recovery?
The surgeon will have his own set of questions to ask, to gain as much information as he can, which makes a firm ground for the breast augmentation surgery. The patient must be prepared to discuss these.
