The plastic surgery consultation process can be rewarding or disappointing depending on your preparedness and expectations.

Step 1: Gain a clear understanding of your goals
Make a list of goals before meeting the surgeon in person. Breast Augmentation Pre-Consultation, exclusively available at SurgeonHouseCall.com can help you formulate your goals in a non-threatening and anonymous fashion.

Common questions to address are:
1. Do I need a breast lift also?
2. Should I get a breast lift at the same time or at a different time?
3. What happens if there is a complication? Who will help me? Will it cost extra?
4. How big is too big? Will this hurt my back?
5. What is the warranty? What if it pops in the first ten years? What about after ten years?
6. Will I need an MRI to see if the implant has popped? How often?

Step 2: Find a surgeon that you like.
The most accepted measure of a plastic surgeon’s qualifications is board certification. However, the importance of the plastic surgeon’s bedside manner cannot be understated. Getting plastic surgery is a journey that can lead to a vastly improved quality of life, higher self esteem, and improved self image. However, the journey relies on trust, understanding, and commitment between the surgeon and you, the patient. This trust and understanding of a common goal and realistic expectations can begin at SurgeonHouseCall.com during a Pre-Consultation, or it could begin in the office of a surgeon recommended by a trusted friend or doctor. Wherever it begins, it is of the highest importance that an excellent rapport be established prior to the first procedure.

Step 3: Getting the surgery.
The plastic surgeon’s instructions must be followed to the letter in order to give the best chance of an excellent result and a safe surgery. This often involves smoking cessation, not eating the day of surgery, and avoiding medications and herbal supplements that may cause excessive bleeding. Also, arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery. You should plan on taking at least three days off of work to allow adequate pain control and relaxation.

For additional questions, please visit the SurgeonHouseCall.com. Plastic surgeons frequently visit the forums and answer general questions, or a personal Pre-consultation can be privately placed with a board certified surgeon of your choice. The plastic surgery Pre-consultation exclusively available on SurgeonHouseCall.com is easy to understand and perform. A brief profile is created by the patient similar to a profile on any online dating or social networking site. The profile is complete with optional pictures and detailed description of the area in question as well as a description of how obtaining plastic surgery will affect your life. All questions are geared towards wound healing and mental preparedness for plastic surgery so that the board certified plastic surgeon can make an accurate assessment. The consultation is completely anonymous and password protected, so that only the surgeon(s) you select can view your profile. Only when you are ready to schedule an in-person appointment is the surgeon able to view your contact information.
