If you\u2019re getting ready for cosmetic surgery,<\/a> you might be wondering what to expect during a consultation. A consultation with a surgeon before your surgery is scheduled allows you to ask questions, get a sense of what to expect, learn about any potential complications, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting a consultation allows you to determine whether or not you want to move forward with the surgery. It also gives you time to meet with several potential surgeons and choose the one that is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is what you should expect in regards to your consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be prepared to have several different consultations with different surgeons at different clinics. Some people make the mistake of only having one consultation. By having several, you increase your chances of finding the right surgeon for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You want a surgeon that has experience, that can answer all of your questions, and that you feel comfortable communicating with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should ask for recommendations, check out websites of local surgeons, and read online reviews. For example, a search such as \u201ccosmetic surgery London<\/a>\u201d will bring up recommended surgeons in London, such as Dominic Bray and Rajiv Grover; some websites may have customer testimonials, but you should also look for reviews of the surgeon on other sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During your consultation, your surgeon is going to have questions about your medical history. Come prepared to answer any medical questions as honestly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learning about your medical history allows the surgeon to determine if you\u2019re in good enough health for the surgery or if they need to take additional precautions to keep you safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They will have questions such as when you last saw your primary physician, if you\u2019re on any medications, if you have any existing health conditions, if you\u2019ve had prior surgeries, and if you\u2019ve ever had complications during or after surgery. They will also ask about your smoking and drinking habits; nicotine and alcohol consumption can cause major complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The consultation is also a time for you to ask questions as well! Your surgeon could make you feel welcomed and be able to easily answer any questions you might have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might have questions about their credentials, their experiences (such as how many other times they\u2019ve performed the surgery), if you are a good candidate for the surgery, who else will be assisting with the surgery, and how any complications will be handled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do research ahead of time to determine what types of questions you should be asking and come prepared with a list. If you feel like the surgeon doesn\u2019t adequately answer your questions, they might not be the right surgeon for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of the time, there will also be a physical exam as part of the consultation. This is another way that the surgeon makes sure that you\u2019re a good candidate for the surgery and that you\u2019re in good physical health.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeet with several surgeons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
