She should ideally write down all the questions, doubts, and concerns in advance and carry the list to the consultation appointment with the surgeon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A committed <\/span><b>plastic surgeon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will take the time to answer all questions in detail and relieve the patient of her pre-surgery anxiety and concerns. Free and frank communication at this stage is vital to making the right decisions about breast augmentation surgery. Experienced plastic surgeon <a href=\"http:\/\/lvplasticsurgery.com\/blog\/about-us\/\">Dr. Brian Parker<\/a> provides this procedure to patients. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Rapport and Open Communication<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the consultation process, the surgeon should be able to make the patient feel completely at ease so that a good rapport and a relationship of trust are established. The patient should feel free to ask any questions, and wherever she does not understand the surgeon\u2019s reply, she may seek further clarifications. The surgeon, on their part, should provide all answers in a patient-friendly language and help the patient to make an informed decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To address some of the queries of the patient about the <a href=\"http:\/\/lvplasticsurgery.com\/blog\/procedures\/breast-augmentation\/\">breast augmentation <\/a><\/span><b>plastic surgery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> procedure, the surgeon may make use of before and after photographs of previous patients. Some surgeons may even offer the patient to review a video of the procedure to have a better understanding. To have more convincing feedback about the surgeon, the patient may request for testimonials of previous patients who have received breast augmentation from the surgeon. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions to Ask<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The patient should ask questions along the following lines during the initial consultation for breast augmentation: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are your qualifications in general and cosmetic surgery? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How many years of training and experience do you in surgical procedures? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you performed breast implant surgeries previously and what is your patient satisfaction rate? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What type of anesthesia would you recommend in my case? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will you perform the breast augmentation surgery at an accredited surgery center or a hospital? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What will be the length of the surgery? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you prefer saline or silicone breast implants for your patients, and why? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are there any risks and complications in breast implant surgery that I should know of? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the average longevity of breast implants? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you have a policy for breast revision procedures in the event of an early implant failure? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long and painful will be the post-surgical recovery? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should I arrange for aftercare at home for a few days?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How much scarring is likely to occur after the surgery? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I get pregnant in the future and will I be able to breastfeed? <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What would be the estimated cost of breast augmentation, including pre- and post-surgical expenses?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Parker is a dedicated <\/span><b>cosmetic surgeon<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who will provide all answers in accurate details and help the patient make a well-considered and salient decision. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you would like to learn more about the <a href=\"http:\/\/lvplasticsurgery.com\/blog\/procedures\/\">plastic surgery procedures and treatments<\/a> performed by <a href=\"http:\/\/lvplasticsurgery.com\/blog\/about-us\/\">Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Brian J.
