A cosmetic surgery consultation is your chance to understand the procedure and the people responsible for your care. Bring your medical history, medicines, and a short list of what you hope to change. Ask for enough detail to compare your options.
Verify training and the setting
Ask whether the surgeon is board certified, how often they perform the procedure, and where it will take place. Ask who handles anesthesia and what is in place if complications occur.
Ask for a recovery plan you can follow
Clarify activity limits, work and travel restrictions, follow-up visits, and what help you may need at home. Ask which signs require contacting the office or seeking urgent care.
Review costs and next steps
Request a written estimate and ask what it includes. Discuss how revisions, complications, or extra follow-up are handled. Give yourself time to review the answers before choosing a date.
