Breast enlargement surgery consultation
The initial breast enlargement surgery consultation is one of the most important aspects for anyone considering having breast augmentation or enlargement surgery.
Why the consultation is important for you
The initial breast enlargement surgery consultation is one of the most important aspects for anyone considering having breast augmentation or enlargement surgery. In this consultation it is very important that you feel you have time to adequately explain to your surgeon your aims from breast enlargement surgery. Aims will vary from person to person and will depend very much on your type of physique, the clothes you would like to wear and the aesthetic outcome you would like following your operation.
Why the consultation is key to your breast enlargement surgery
It is important that you develop a good rapport with your surgeon and that they understand fully what you hope to achieve from the operation and also your desired appearance following your breast enlargement surgery. In some cases you may meet a non-medical specialist in the first instance, but in Aurora clinics our philosophy is that your first appointment will be with the surgeon to discuss the best type of breast enlargement surgery for you; in particular:
- The best type of breast implants for you
- Whether your implant should be shaped or round
- Whether the implant would be placed behind or in front of the muscle
- Whether you would need any other procedures, such as a procedure
What you will need to bring to your breast enlargement surgery consultation
It is also useful in your breast enlargement surgery consultation to bring along some pre-prepared questions to make sure that you have all of these answered. We would also encourage you to bring along pictures showing the type of bust that you would like following surgery and some of your own clothing in various styles to see how they might look with different implants.
What will happen in your breast enlargement surgery consultation?
Your surgeon should openly discuss the pros and cons of treatment for you and the type of approach that they would recommend.
Most surgeons will also show you before and after pictures of breast enlargement surgery patients whom they have treated and it's important in the consultation to ask the surgeon :
- how many breast augmentation/enlargement procedures they perform per year.
- how many of these patients have required further surgery (e.g. – to adjust the size of their implants).
- how many patients have developed capsular contracture following surgery.
- how many patients have developed other problems following surgery, such as infection or bleeding.
What do you need to ask at your consultation?
It's important to ask about the follow up arrangements and whether, if you do have any problems following your operation, your initial payment would cover this or if you would need to pay extra to have the revisional surgery.
Most consultations for breast enlargement surgery will also involve you seeing and trying breast enlargement implants of various sizes and shapes. It's important to realise that breast implants come in different heights and widths as well as shapes and that the same implant will have a very different appearance on different physiques. At Aurora Clinics we pride ourselves on our breast sizing appointments and spend at least an hour with you looking at various sizes and shapes. We would encourage you to come in with different tops and clothes you will wear to see how the implants will look in different outfits.
What can you do to prepare following your consultation?
Following your consultation you should receive written information and at Aurora Clinics we also offer a free information CD on breast enlargement surgery.
We encourage you to thoroughly research and read the detailed information we give you and also listen to the information CD prior to making any formal decisions as to whether you would like to go ahead with the procedure. In many cases we will schedule a further consultation to go over any questions you may have which arise from your initial consultation.
