2 Steps to a Better Plastic Surgery Consultation
In a way, it’s like a job interview; a plastic surgery consultation represents an 
opportunity to develop a professional relationship. Likewise, there are better and worse ways to go about it. Follow these 2 steps to ensure that your consultation is productive.
1. Prepare Yourself: have questions and know your general goals
The consultation offers the perfect opportunity to discuss specific information related to your procedure that can’t be easily found online. Just bring a list of questions or topics that you think are really important.
Being prepared also means knowing what you want to achieve with plastic surgery. Some patients know exactly what they want, while some are just curious about cosmetic surgery. Both are fine, but it’s best to think about your general goals before the consultation.
2. Be open and communicate well
Good communication is crucial through our entire process. Feel free to utilize whatever tools you think are necessary to help accomplish that; whether it is our before & after photos or some other visual aid you find appealing.
Also, don’t hide important information that may allow Dr. Dreyfuss or Dr. Gelman to serve you more effectively. Information such as past medical history, past procedures, and your motivations to have surgery all fall into that category.
