Cosmetic surgery is a great boon to those who wish to alter their looks for the better. People no longer have to spend their entire lives with faces they do not approve of. Cosmetic surgical procedures such as Rhinoplasty, face lifts, eyebrow lifts, chin implants, and many more have come to the rescue of beauty-conscious people, who entertain high standards of physical perfection.

Anybody can express a desire to undergo cosmetic procedures; however, this does not make everybody a right

candidate for the cosmetic procedure of their choice. A person who approaches a cosmetic surgeon cannot be directly led to the operating table. A procedure called pre-surgery consultation is essential in order to determine if the person is the correct candidate for that particular procedure.

During the pre-cosmetic surgery consultation, the cosmetic surgeon asks a number of important questions to find out if the patient really ought to undergo the cosmetic procedure. The patient’s medical hi

story, psychological condition, expectations, and motivations are thoroughly analyzed and studied during the pre-plastic surgery consultation.

The pre-plastic surgery consultation also gives patients the opportunity to meet and interact with their cosmetic surgeons and to get answers to their questions. The cosmetic surgery clinic provides patients with ample literature regarding the clinic, the surgeon, and various cosmetic procedures just before the pre-surgical consultation. Patients are re

quired to read this literature properly before meeting their cosmetic surgeons so that they can ask the right questions. The consultation helps patients confirm or discard their decision to undergo the cosmetic procedure. It also ensures that there is no communication gap or unresolved issue between the doctor and the patient and that they have understood each other perfectly well.

During the pre-plastic surgery consultation, patients must not hesitate to ask any question regarding the cosmetic procedure and modify their goals and expectations. Patients must frankly discuss cost factors, the doctor’s qualification and experience, his/her previous patients, and before and after photos of his previous patients, along with any information they require regarding the doctor’s experience and qualification. This helps patients get comfortable with their cosmetic surgeons and trust them.

Dr. Edward J. Ricciardelli, a plastic surgeon at Summit Cosmetic Surgery, speaks of the importance of pre-plastic surgery consultation. He claims that he tries his best to know the patient’s expectation’s during the pre-cosmetic surgery consultation. A thorough knowledge of the patient’s expectations helps the doctor ascertain if they are realistic and if he/she can help the patient meet those goals. The doctor also points out that the best candidate for a facial procedure is a patient with healthy facial skin. If the patient has a bad skin, he/she must be first guided through a skin care programme, which will enhance the health of the skin.

If either the patient or the doctor is not satisfied with a single consultation, more pre-surgical consultations must be scheduled to facilitate better understanding between the doctor and the patient. On no account should a patient purchase the services of a clinic that does not schedule pre-surgical consultations.
