I have been wanting breast implants ever since I was about 12 or 13 years old. This dream is coming true bc of my dear hubby! I am very excited to get things started. I have been doing my research and I want to know is it too soon for me to do consultations? I would like to meet with three different doctors before making my decision, barring I feel comfortable with one of the three doctors.
Answer: How soon should I start booking consultations for breast augmentation? I'm hoping to have the surgery done this November 2017. Thank you for sharing your excellent question. It is never too early to start the breast augmentation process as you will need to be able to schedule consultations, assess your candidacy for surgery, and discuss all facets of preoperative/postoperative restrictions and limitations. Many patients also spend additional time assessing the best implant size and style that will help them achieve their desired goals. Because the end of the year tends to be busier for surgeons it would be advantageous to start early for the best chance of finding a surgeon with the availability to perform your procedure in November. Hope this helps.

Answer: Book consultation far enough in advance to the breast augmentation so you have a chance to digest the information the plastic su There is no steadfast rule but you may hear things from your plastic surgeon that are unexpected. You will need time to consider these before proceeding with the operation.

Answer: Timing of Consultations for Breast Augmentation Search the internet for the names of plastic surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Then peruse those Board Certified Plastic Surgeons' websites for breast augmentation before and after photos, the number of procedures performed, and patient reviews. Select three (the number you prefer) of these surgeons based upon credentials, accreditation of facility, ease of contact, and treatment particularly after surgery.Costs will vary depending upon the demand for the plastic surgeon and the number of breast augmentations performed with great results. If you are thinking of financing the surgery, their patient coordinators can discuss the various credit card options available such as VISA, MC, Discover, AMEX, Care Credit, and Alphaeon. Schedule in-office consultations with the three you selected from your research so that they can evaluate your candidacy for the breast augmentation and your goals. You should be able to find one you have confidence in and can trust. Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Consultation A consultation can be scheduled at any time. The consultation gives you the opportunity to meet with the doctor, discuss your goals, let him/her examine you and review your options with you. Getting more than one opinion is a good idea as it gives you the chance to hear differing perspectives. Please make sure that the doctor/doctors you visit are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, the only board recognized by the AMA for the training and certification of plastic surgeons.
