Your cosmetic surgery initial consultation will last 30 minutes. During this time you and your plastic surgeon will discuss all aspects of the proposed surgery.
The consultation will include:
Taking a history
this is where the surgeon asks you about your expectations from surgery and the current problems that you're experiencing, your past medical history, allergies, medications, and all other aspects of your lifestyle which may have a bearing on the proposed surgery
Physical examination
this is usually limited to the area being treated surgically. On occasion this may also include a general physical examination. Photographs are sometimes taken at this time for your confidential medical records.
Discussion
once the history and examination are complete, a full discussion of the procedure takes place. This includes talking about what we can and cannot do, what we expect the result to be, the risks of the procedure and how to make the decision to go ahead with a booking for surgery.
After the consultation
After the consultation you will receive a letter summarising what we discussed, and a copy is usually sent to your GP. The letter will also include a quote for the procedures discussed. There may be a consultation fee payable after the consultation.
Once you have had your consultation, you should have a think about how you would like to proceed. You are very welcome (and, indeed, encouraged!) to have a return visit (free of charge) a week or two later, as you will probably have more questions to ask your plastic surgeon. |
