My consult was to decide if I was a good candidate. Now that I am approved, I'm wondering what we discuss at the 2nd appt. Do I disrobe again and do we have a better conversation about what size I would prefer if possible? My fear outside of surgery complications and infection is that I won't be small enough to be comfortable. I would like to go as small as possible.

Answer: Follow up consult or Pre operative visit
It sounds like you have very important questions that need to be answered prior to surgery. Size is very important as it effects your body image, body proportion and even what are the requirements of your insurance company in order for the procedure to considered a covered benefit. In terms of insurance, the requirement of companies vary greatly. You may be comfortable with the amount to be removed and meet criteria, but for some insurance companies the amount required as a minimum may be more than you feel comfortable with. Going as small as possible is important information for your surgeon to know. You may very well need to undress again and be more specific about size. Cup sizes can help guide your surgeon, but bra manufacturers vary so widely as to what they may call a "C", do not plan on having a cup size guaranteed only approximated.
If you have many questions, I would recommend a follow up consulation, than go ahead an schedule.

Answer: Hello
For your second appointment it should be considered a pre-op appointment. On that appointment in our practice we talk about what to expect after surgery and all the do and don’ts before and after surgery.
