If you’re considering a tummy tuck, breast implants, mommy makeover, liposuction, facelift, BBL, rhinoplasty, or other cosmetic surgery procedure it’s important to have a comprehensive consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to ensure that you have a safe and successful outcome.
Here's a checklist of what you should expect and
what you should bring to your consultation:

Your plastic surgeon will need to know your medical history, including any previous surgeries, medical conditions, and medications that you're taking. This information is critical for determining your eligibility for the procedure and for developing a personalized treatment plan.
2. Photos
Bring photos of the look you want to achieve. This will help your plastic surgeon understand your expectations and determine if they are achievable with your procedure. Your plastic surgeon may also take photos of your body to help them plan.
