Whatever your reason, make sure your physician is certified as a plastic surgeon and that your procedure is one they regularly perform.

What should I expect from my first plastic surgery appointment?

After checking in for your first appointment, you’ll likely meet with a medical assistant who gives you a brief physical exam and goes over your medical history. During your physical exam, you should include all helpful information about any medications or drugs you take. After your exam, you’ll meet the plastic surgeon. You can expect your plastic surgeon to ask you questions, such as:

  • Why do you want to change this part of your body?
  • How do you feel about your body now?
  • How would you like to feel after your surgery?

You can also expect your plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and chosen procedures, including:

  • desired outcome
  • medical history
  • risks and complications
  • recovery time
