I had a consult with a reputable PS I really like. Called the following week & scheduled my procedure for 6 or 7 wks later; gave a deposit. A month prior to my procedure date, I asked about scheduling a pre-op visit. The tech said they don't usually do them, that they're not really necessary. I asked about pre & post-op instructions. They don't like to mail the pre-op too early because people lose them & I'll get the post-op & scripts the morning of my procedures. Sound right?

Answer: Preop visit for facelift-yea or nay? Dear DinaTelli-In my practice I prefer that patients come in for a preoperative visit. Only in extenuating circumstances (patient comes from out of state or country) do I make exceptions, and even then I still try to get them in a few days early for a preop visit. I think it is better practice to do so. Postoperative instructions can be given at the preop visit--we often end up giving them again in the recovery area after surgery. Hope this helps!Best,Dr. Most

Answer: Is meeting your plastic surgeon several weeks BEFORE your planned #facelift day mandatory? of course it is. Sorry Dina for all the anxiety you are experiencing.I would consider mandatory to meet your plastic surgeon weeks in advance of your booked surgical facelift day.In Toronto, I meet my patients twice, go over their concerns, options, take photos and measurements, discuss risks and complications, give them forms for blood work and ECG, pre and post-op instructions, etc. etc. etc.I would really insist in meeting your surgeon or consider meeting 1-2 other plastic surgeons to see how comfortable you are with him/her and the clinic.Hope this helps!

Answer: Preoperative preparation Different surgeons use different protocols, but I think it is important that all bases are covered. You should feel your questions and health concerns are being completely addressed. In my practice, a preoperative visit is mandatory to fully discuss the procedure and make sure you are ready to go.
