I never showed my surgeon wish pictures on the preop day - I want to give her a visual of my goals..
Answer: Tummy Tuck Wish Goals Communication Hello! I would not wait for day of surgery to present your surgeon with your goals. It is possible that the goals might not be within expected outcomes. I would recommend you communicate through email, zoom or in person to do this - as far ahead of surgery as you can. Surgeons should not be coming into surgery with her/his plan for you without accounting for your actual desired outcome. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Photos Wish photos need to be brought to the consultation or preop visit, and not the day of surgery. You and your surgeon need to have made a clear plan for surgery prior to the surgical date.

Answer: Tummy tuck abdominoplasty flat abdomen rectus diastasis flat tummy pubic lift Thank you for your question regarding whether you can bring your wish pictures on the day of surgery. Of course, you can bring your wish pictures to your surgeon on the day of surgery, with pictures helping the surgeon establish what you are looking for in their mind. Please remember again these are wish pictures. Not everything can be created. However, your surgeon can see what your ideal or goal is. They, as plastic surgeons, can work to create that. Thank you for your question regarding whether you can bring wish list pictures on the day of surgery. If you have any more questions regarding the tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, please contact my office. Since an abdominoplasty can be a difficult procedure, please seek an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing tummy tucks. Do your research. Make sure your chosen plastic surgeon has performed at least 100 abdominoplasties. Make sure they have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf. Good luck! Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: Wish photos I would advise contacting your surgeon to discuss your concerns and goals sooner rather than later. I would not recommend waiting until surgery day. It is important that you are comfortable and confident in your surgical plan as you prepare for surgery.
