Consultations are absolutely recommended and needed before you decide to have surgery. When you come in and consult with us, it gives us the opportunity to really have a conversation with what you are looking for, and goals and expectations, you know, is it realistic, is it something we can do for you, is it safe for your body, will it fit your body habitus. So we take that opportunity to look at your health history, what kind of medications you are on, what procedures you have done in the past .And then what are you looking to do and we can kinda meld those things together and make sure what your best options are to make that happen. We use that opportunity to take photographs,we use that to do procedure planning so that we can really draw on that photograph and show you, this is where your incision will be, we can show you pictures of people who had similar procedures so that you can really have an idea of what your expectation of result will be.
