Tips To Prepare Yourself For Your Cosmetic Consultation
By Dr. Samir Shah
Preparing for a plastic or cosmetic surgery consultation is crucial for making an informed decision. To ensure that you have the best possible experience, Dr. Shah has a few tips for you to follow so that you’ll be prepared for your upcoming cosmetic consultation.
Communicate Your Goals & Expectations: Write down your cosmetic concerns and your goals/ expectations. Are your goals and expectations realistic? Having realistic expectations is important to a successful experience.
Bring A List Of Questions: Write down your questions for your plastic surgeon and bring these questions to your consultation.
Be The Best Version Of Yourself In The Lead-Up To Your Consultation: Work on being the best version of yourself by eating clean, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, reducing your stress, and getting enough sleep daily. This is crucial for a successful surgery.
Visual Communication Is Best: If you have a specific idea of how you want to enhance your face or body, bring photo examples of what you are looking for. Why? Photos allow you to visually express your preferences. This helps them understand your aesthetic goals and guide you to an achievable outcome.
Provide Your Medical History: Come prepared to share your complete medical history. If you have had previous plastic surgery in the areas that you are interested in enhancing, please ensure you bring in details on what has been done.
Do Not Rush To Your Appointment: Ensure you have saved the day and time to avoid feeling rushed. Your plastic surgeon wants you to enjoy your consultation and ensure you have all of your questions answered!
Be Financially Prepared For Your Consultation: Prior to your appointment, verify which financing options are available at your physician’s medical practice. If you need assistance with searching for financing, check the website or call their office for assistance.
Lastly and most importantly, Be Excited And Get Ready To Start Your Journey To Become A New You!
Plastic surgery can significantly enhance your quality of life with improved body image and self-esteem. Your cosmetic consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is important in allowing you to be well-informed and prepared for the journey ahead.
