Breast Augmentation: Q&A

Ask a Question

Hello Doctors! - Breast Augmentation

I come from Europe and there is no problem for me to come to U.S. I just want the best Doctor for BA. When I do find a doctor - I also find on forums that some of his pacients aren't happy with results /how they were treated. I need a doctor that is patient and explain me everything. How long would I have to stay in US after a surgery before I can fly back to Europe? Is it possible to come for an appointment and do the surgery like a day after or do I have to come back another time? Thank you

2 week stay after Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation for European Patient (Fly in for Surgery)?

Thank you for the question. I think that you are wise in selecting your plastic surgeon carefully. You may find an immense amount of information on plastic surgeons' websites. You will be able to do an on line and phone consult. I also ask patients to send me pictures of examples of what they would like to achieve, as well as breasts that are too large or too small. Assuming, I feel that the patient and my practice is a good match, I will see the patient one to two... more

Hello and thank you for your question.

I would start by visiting the doctor's website and seeing their pre and post-operative photos. Next, find a few doctors that you like and arrange for a phone consultation. Before the phone consultation you should send photos as suggested by that surgeon's surgical concierge. Once you have the phone consultation with the surgeon and select the surgeon that you are most confortable with and book the surgery, they would see you the day before surgery to go over paper... more

Finding the best doctor

Thanks so much for your post. It's a good idea to do your research and have several consultations with at least the top 3 doctors you end up liking the most. Realistically, traveling long distances for cosmetic surgery has its pros and cons and you should discuss the time you need to be here with the plastic surgeon performing your operation. As far as reviews, use your judgement and go with your gut feeling. The fact is that not every patient is 100% happy all the time, but don't get... more
