I just left my second consultation and I feel emotionally drained. I came with prepared q's. The doctor took the time to go through all of my questions. But he was unwilling to show before and after photos. I asked for more information about how my breasts will look, where will the Tt scar be located and he said you just have to be surprised. He can't make any guarantees. Is this normal? He only gives ibuprofen and paracetamol after surgery. He has 30 yrs experience and great reviews. Idk..:
Answer: Choosing the right size and profile breast implants for you. Incision location always discussed before surgery. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon' s experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Answer: Breast augmentation Most board certified plastic surgeons will have examples of their work for you to review. It would be atypical not to have examples of your work.

Answer: Before and after photos It is true that surgeons, in general, cannot guarantee anything in terms of results. This is even for the most tired and tested solutions. However, typically a predicted outcome can be provided. While this prediction is not 100% accurate, it should give you a good idea of what your results may look like.

Answer: Before/After Photos When planning surgery it is very important that you feel comfortable and confident in your surgeon and surgical plan. This is the person you will need to discuss your surgical goals with, as well as any concerns you may have after surgery. In my practice we share before/after photos of past patients with their consent. This helps potential patients during the implant selection process as well as allows them to feel confident in what they can expect.

Answer: You should feel comfortable with your surgeon This is a reasonable concern. You should feel comfortable with the surgeon you decide to have surgery with. This starts from the moment you walk into their office and meet with your doctor and staff. Surgery is a big decision, and your surgeon should discuss any questions and concerns you may have beyond the ones you have prepared beforehand. Sometimes, surgeons do not have consent from other patients to show photos, or cannot share photos for other reasons. It is important for surgeons to manage expectations, and it is often hard to make 100% promises or guarantees. Bottom line is that you should be feeling good and confident in your surgeon (not drained). Hope this helps!

Answer: Surgery if you are concerned about his skills or judgements, then go talk to another surgeon or go back to your first. You could check his website for photos as well.
