Being happy with the results of your breast augmentation in Tampa starts out with a very important first step: a great consultation. To help you start your cosmetic surgery journey on the right foot, here are some tips on how to prepare for a breast augmentation consultation.
Clear Communication
Open and honest communication with Dr. Castellano is an important part of ensuring a good breast augmentation consultation, not to mention being happy with the results of your procedure. This is particularly important for women considering breast augmentation. Although it’s one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in Tampa and throughout Florida, there still remains a lot of miscommunication when it comes to breast augmentation.
For one thing, most women think about breast size in terms of bra size or cup size, yet breast implants are measured by their volume. You and Dr. Castellano will discuss your goals for your results in a language you can both understand.
Make a list of questions to bring to your consultation as well as images of your goal results to help Dr. Castellano customize your procedure to fit your needs.
Write Down Your Questions
From the time you schedule your consultation until the day of your appointment, keep an ongoing list of questions that come up, and bring that list with you to your consultation. This is also a good time to ask about qualifications and experience as well as look patient before and after photos. Dr. Castellano will take the time to listen to you and address any concerns you may have.
Bring Photos of Your Ideal Results
Sometimes explaining what you want can be hard without a frame reference. Bringing pictures of your ideal breast augmentation results to your consultation can be very helpful, as this gives Dr. Castellano a visual interpretation of your appearance goals.
By following these tips, you should be well on the road to feeling confident about the outcome of your procedure. Contact us today to schedule your consultation
