I visited with a surgeon who rushed the visit, which I paid $100.00 for! He's very good and experienced, but if he's so busy, how likely is it that he's gonna rush my surgery as he did with the consultation? It was for a body lift and aug (using my own tissue and fat to push the fat down in the buttocks with the blood vessels attached; not BBL).
Answer: Body Contouring after Weight Loss Thank you for your question. There are a lot of issues that should be broached during a consultation for the procedures you listed. If you did not get your questions answered to your satisfaction consider asking for a second consultation as you still have concerns. If this is a problem, then you can pursue another consultation.

Answer: Rushed Consultation Resulting in Rushed Surgery Thank you for your question regarding whether a rushed consultation with a busy surgeon results in a rushed surgery. The answer is not necessarily. Experienced plastic surgeons are busy. They are in high demand. Just because you have a rushed consultation does not mean you're surgery will be rushed. I would examine your plastic surgeon results online and closely examine their number of before and after pictures. I would also carefully examine their results. If they do not have a significant number of pictures, more than fifty, I will consult with another plastic surgeon. An experienced plastic surgeon should be able to spend as much time as you want to answer all your questions. In addition, they should have ancillary staff to answer all your questions during your consultation, mainly because you paid one hundred dollars. I hope I answered your question regarding whether a rushed consultation will result in a rushed surgery.

Answer: Picking the Best Plastic Surgeon for Massive Weight Loss Surgery Not necessarily is the short answer. However, it is essential that you feel comfortable with your surgeon and that adequate time is spent to educate you on the pros and cons of surgery, options, risks and anticipated benefits.

Answer: Find a surgeon that cares enough to spend time with you A rushed consultation is not a good indicator of the quality of care that you will receive after surgery. The fact that it bothers you already is significant. You need to find someone who is willing to take the time to explain the operations to you. This will reflect on the time and care they spend in the operating room as well as after surgery. The operation you are describing is a novel procedure that is performed by surgeons that specialize in post massive weight loss patients. Even having a consultation with a surgeon that does not perform this autologous hip flap is a waste of your time. I personally do not perform this hip flap, but is very easy to find out on this forum which surgeons specialize in massive weight loss patients and auto augmentation of the buttocks.

Answer: Body Lift Surgery Planning Body contouring after weight loss requires a lot of skill, and double the amount of involvement after surgery compared to most other plastic surgeries. I would be concerned if your surgeon does not seem to be able to build enough time into explaining and discussing the with you one these more involved procedures.
