The Initial ConsultationAfter you have found a well qualified plastic surgeon, you will call his office to schedule an appointment. Policies vary, but I make a modest charge which you can confirm when you make the appointment. Your medical insurance may cover this fee in some instances. Few plastic surgeons require a referral from another doctor to see you. At the first visit, you should discuss what you wish to achieve, and your plastic surgeon will examine you, and discuss what he would advise for you. The results of aesthetic plastic surgery are limited by the proportions and structure of your body. It will not change you into a completely new person. Nor will it revive a failing marriage or make you president of your company. Discuss your expectations, so your plastic surgeon can tell you whether they are realistic. Apart from the surgical assessment, the initial consultation is an opportunity to ensure that you feel comfortable and communicate well with your intended surgeon. It is important that you both agree on the surgical plan, and that he understands your goals. Good communication becomes especially important to work towards a solution if you are less than satisfied with the initial surgical result. You should also receive a thorough explanation of surgical and other charges, possible insurance coverage, and policies regarding correction of complications. Many plastic surgeons also offer third party financing and accept credit cards. Finally, you should assess your plastic surgeon's qualifications and ability to perform the planned surgery. Beware of surgeons who are unwilling to discuss their qualifications, guarantee a successful result or fail to explain possible risks and complications.
