Your Plastic Surgeon Consultation

Considering breast augmentation? First, you need to ask yourself why you want to do this. If you answer to keep your partner happy or increase your chance for a promotion, obviously, you aren't doing it for the right reasons and should stop now.

However, if you are doing this to improve your self-esteem and your image, it's time to book a consultation with your plastic surgeon. So what should you expect at that appointment?

Don't just make one appointment. After doing your research, you should have narrowed your plastic surgeon list to at least two, and you need to book a consult with both. You should make a checklist with your questions and have it with you the day of your appointment.

At the office do a visual, and note how clean the office is.

Check to see how friendly and helpful the staff is - after all, they are what is between you and the doctor.

Is the office professional? Are appointments on time? Pay attention! Just the few minutes in the office can tell you an awful lot.

Once you are in the plastic surgeon's office note how well his/her communication skills are. Do you feel comfortable? Relaxed? Was the procedure explained? Were your questions answered? Did the surgeon explain complications that can occur?

You should find out how long the plastic surgeon has been doing breast augmentation. Ask questions about failure rates, and rates of infection. Find out where incisions will be made and what type of implants your surgeon recommends.

This is the time to decide whether you are happy with the surgeon, think you will be comfortable having him/her do the procedure and whether you can afford the procedure.

If you are not sure about the surgeon's credentials, you can check with the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. Of course, you always want your surgeon to be accredited.

Think of your consultation with your plastic surgeon as the interview for someone you about to hire to take good care of your body and great care of your breasts.
