After a consultation at Tulsa Cosmetic Surgery, you should have answers to your most important questions and feel more confident about how to proceed – whether that involves a procedure or not.
To get the most out of your office visit, follow these two easy steps:
1. Come prepared
Make a list of questions that you think are 1) important or 2) difficult to understand. Depending on the procedure you are interested in, it might be somewhat difficult to get straight answers, and you might find conflicting information. Fortunately, the consultation offers a perfect opportunity to get straight answers from a professional.
It also helps to define the general goals you have for cosmetic surgery. Some patients have been considering a procedure for years and know exactly what they want; others are just starting their search. While a consultation can be useful in either case, you’ll get more from the experience if you have at least a vague idea of your goals.
2. Come with an open mind
It’s important that you communicate well with the doc; that means disclosure of your medical history, past procedures, and reasons for surgery. This part of the process carries through all the way to your recovery and results, and it will help our surgeons serve you better.
If it seems difficult to communicate your goals, use cosmetic surgery before and after pictures or other visual aids. You can view our photos or bring examples that you think are appealing.
