It's Better To Ask These Queries Than To Get Plastic Surgery Calamities
Cosmetic Surgery Consultation - Questions To Ask
A consultation with a cosmetic surgeon is a crucial meeting for a lot of factors. It is a opportunity for you to meet with the doctor, to talk about your health and the plastic surgery procedure you are looking at, and to ask questions. You and the surgeon will take a seat and discuss why you need a face lift or breast enlargement or anything you want done.
Below are several questions you could ask to a potential cosmetic surgeon and accomplish the cosmetic surgery Bristol consultation:
What, if anything, was your medical specialty before you chose to practice cosmetic plastic surgery?
Have you ever been disciplined or had your license suspended by state medical board?
Do you carry malpractice insurance?
Do you have an onsite accredited Surgery Center? May I see it?
Do you have hospital privileges, should I choose to undergo my procedure in a hospital? If not, did you lose those privileges?
What is your favorite procedure to perform and why?
How many (surgery you are interested in) have you carried out?
How many of these procedures do you perform on average, annually?
Will I have a certified anesthesiologist?
How many revisions, on average, do you have to perform?
What types of medications will I be given and which pain medications do you normally prescribe?
Do you perform your surgeries with the patient under General, Light Sleep Sedation or local/regional anesthetic only? Why?
I have heard that general anesthesia makes the patient sick to their stomach, what can you do to lessen its effect?
Do you offer financing (if applicable)? Do you expect full payment up front? Can I pay in increments? (or any other financial questions you may have)
Are there any hidden costs that I should know about? For lab work, post-operative check-ups, additional medications, compression garments or surgical attire?
What about Bromelain or drinking pineapple juice and Vitamin C tablets? Anything else?
Will I have scarring? If so, how bad will it be?
Do you recommend silicone gel sheeting or use steri-strips for flattening of scars?
Must I abide by any special diet, both pre-operatively and post-operatively?
I take (contraception, diet pills, antidepressants, etc.), will I have any adverse reactions from the prescribed medications or anesthesia? To view an example aspirin and supplement list, visit http://www.yestheyrefake.net/medication_list.htm
What would you do if I were to choose to undergo the surgery and I had a complication?
Do you believe my expectations can be met?
If I have an emergency the night after surgery, what should I do?
If such an emergency arises, will you be the attending physician?
If I will need sutures (stitches), when will they be taken out?
Bring a list of questions along with you so that you don't get sidetracked and forget. Remember; you must see other physicians for consultations, preferably 2 or 3, and if you decide to have the surgery, you need to see your chosen surgeon at least 2 times before the surgery to go over your worries. You are not being rude by asking questions, even questions about your physician's experience or training.
