What Can I Ask To Ensure I Have A Good Plastic Surgery Experience?

Copyright 2006 Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery

With over 14.7 million people in the United States having cosmetic or reconstructive surgery this year, many people are asking, ?What can I ask my surgeon before the procedure to ensure I have a good plastic surgery experience??

Good plastic surgery can be defined by many people in many ways. Some people may define it by achieving successful results, while others may define it in terms of their surgical experience. While good plastic surgery may be hard to define, there are things you can do now before your procedure to ensure maximum results.

The easiest way to ensure a good plastic surgery experience is to maintain an open and qualitative communication line with the staff at the plastic surgery center. Before your procedure, your surgeon should inquire about your potential concerns, fears, priorities and motivation for this surgery. The more he knows about why you?re entering this surgery, the better he can answer your questions.

Your surgeon should also be able to give you reasonable expectations for the outcome of your surgery, and explain what is and isn?t possible with your results.

While most surgeons will provide you with a variety of answers and information to help you explain your procedure, you may wish to bring your questions in with you during one of your pre-consultations.

Questions

* What procedure is the best for me to achieve my desired results?

* How is the surgery performed? What should I expect the day of the surgery?

* Are there any options available to me?

* What are the normal results?

* How long of a recovery period can I expect?

* How noticeable will my scars be?

* While your surgeon will be able to answer these questions easily, it?s always nice to go into your first meeting with a little bit of knowledge.

Ask your questions, and listen to his answers. Does he listen to you, and provide you with answers that are acceptable to you?

Keep in mind that a plastic surgeon is a specialist; he has turned his training into experience. If he has performed your procedure dozens of times, he?ll understand every nuance of the surgery. Ask him to describe the details. Make sure you understand every step of the procedure. You?ll feel more comfortable with the doctor, the procedure, and will be more relaxed during the entire process.

Not only will your questions put you more at ease, but it will also ensure you have a good plastic surgery experience!
