Like any surgery, plastic surgery is always an important decision for you to make. Before you can make the decision with confidence, you will want to meet your surgeon and understand a few things about what’s to come. Here are a few top tips on how to prepare for your plastic surgery consultation:
What do you want?
Before your consultation, you first must understand what you are looking for. Think about what you like about yourself and what you would like to change, write it down and bring it into your consultation. In addition to your list, bring in photos that best display your desired look. This will help Dr. Bonaldi understand what you are hoping for, and also gives him a chance to tell you how reasonable your expectations are.
Do Your Research
A good rule of thumb is to have some knowledge on the procedure you would like done before you go into your consultation. Knowing the basics of the procedure will make it easier for you to get more information out of your consultation. The more you understand, the more you will feel comfortable with the process.
