What to Expect During Your Initial Consultation
Denver, Lone Tree and Boulder, CO
It is important that you are well-prepared for your initial consultation with your prospective plastic surgeon. This will ensure that you have all the information to make an informed decision about your procedure.
The initial consultation is the time where you can view Before and After Photos, discuss your surgical goals, and listen to your procedure options. Your consultation can range from 1 to two hours, depending on the complexity of your situation and number of desired procedures.
At the Broadway Center for Plastic Surgery, Denver plastic surgeon Dr. Broadway will make you feel comfortable and answer all your questions. He will address your concerns and make sure you are making the decision that is best for you and your body.
What to Ask
When you meet with your potential cosmetic surgeon, he or she should ask about your:
- Motivations for pursuing surgery
- Priorities
- Concerns
- Surgical goals
Your surgeon should tell you what is and is not possible, and what you can expect from your procedure. Be sure to ask questions about your chosen procedure, such as:
- How do you perform this surgery?
- How many times have you performed this procedure?
- What is the simplest and safest surgery to help me achieve my goals?
- What are my other options?
- How long does this operation take?
- What complications may occur and how frequently have they occurred for you?
- What results can I expect?
- How long do the typical results last?
- Where will scars be located and will they be noticeable?
- Will the scars fade with time and how long will they take to fade?
- How many patients have needed re-operations or touch ups?
Other Topics to Discuss
Anesthesia is necessary for plastic surgery. Be sure to meet with your anesthesiologist beforehand; this way you can discuss any factors that may influence your health and safety.
Also discuss the cost during your initial consultation. You may have received a quote over the phone, but your potential surgeon can give you a more accurate estimate once he or she has met with you.
