Once you’ve done your research and found a qualified cosmetic surgeon, your breast augmentation consultation is the next step toward getting the figure you’ve always wanted. These quick tips will help you prepare for your consult and get the most out of this one-on-one time with your cosmetic surgeon.
Medical History and Breast Exam
Your cosmetic surgeon’s goal is to make sure that breast augmentation is the right solution for your needs and that you are a good candidate for this procedure. To do this, he or she will ask about your medical history and habits like smoking and drinking, as well as perform a checkup and breast exam.
Wear something comfortable to your breast augmentation consult, and bring a few different outfits with you to help you choose an implant size.
Ask Questions
This is your time to ask as many questions as you’d like about your breast augmentation procedure. Take some time before your consultation to jot down a list of must-ask breast implant questions, like:
- How many breast augmentations have you performed?
- Which implant placement and incision technique would you recommend?
- Am I a good candidate for breast augmentation?
- What can I expect before, during and after my procedure?
Book Your Breast Augmentation
If you feel comfortable and confident you want to move forward with this cosmetic surgeon, you can go ahead and book your breast augmentation after your visit. Keep in mind that you are by no means obligated to make a decision now, and there’s nothing wrong with getting a second opinion before deciding.
