I want to see about having a breast lift and removal of fatty tissue from under arms at the end of the year. Is it too soon to have a consultation now?
Answer: Perfect time for a consultation It is never to soon to start the educational process. A consultation does not obligate you to anything. At the consultation you identify your concerns, learn about the options, and develop a plan with the surgeon. At this point you can find out which operations best for you, how much time you will need to recover, and how much the surgery will cost. As it gets closer to the planned surgery, you will meet with the surgeon again to see if anything has changed, answer any more of your questions, and make plans for the operation. If you start early, it will take the pressure of time off of you, making it easier to think clearly about whether you like the doctor and what they have to offer, and also to define your goals. Planning ahead is always better than rushing into something.

Answer: Consultation timing I always feel like it's good to come in sooner rather than later...for example if there were medical issues, or if you thought you needed procedure X but your plastic surgeon thought procedure Y is better, then you would like to know that well in advance. Sometimes I see someone who wants surgery ASAP but has some issue that holds them up...so again come in sooner and at least you can have a definite plan.I hope that helps!

Answer: Consultation for mastopexy You can have a consultation now to see if you are a good candidate and to also take your time to find a surgeon you like. I would see at least three surgeons before making your decision. It's never really too early to gather information and get different opinions as there are several ways to perform a breast lift.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Answer: Too soon for a consultation? I agree that it's never too soon to have a consultation. The more informed you are about a procedure the more comfortable you will be when it comes time to have it done. Consulting with a surgeon early on allows you to ask as many questions as you want and not feel rushed about your procedure. It will also allow you enough time to save up for the procedure, if necessary. In general, having a consultation 1-2 months before a procedure will make scheduling easier and give you enough time to build a relationship with your surgeon. Good luck!
