Though cosmetic surgery is becoming more and more accessible and popular, it’s important not to forget that it’s often a complicated and specialised operation, sometimes requiring general anaesthetic. The more you know about the procedure, the more you can ask during the consultation period, and the more enlightening the encounter will be.
When travelling for your pre-surgery consultation, remember that doctors often talk in highly specific and technical language. If you are feeling confused or don’t understand something they’re telling you, ask them to explain it in layman’s terms – it’s absolutely imperative that you have
peace-of-mind before heading to the operating table.
It’s also important that you bring something to the table, so try to spend some time researching the procedure you’re undertaking. It will give you a greater understanding going into the consultation, as well as likely resulting in additional, more in-depth questions for your surgeon. Some questions you should ask your surgeon:
Will I need to take medication after the operation?
Remember that this list isn’t comprehensive – be sure to ask your surgeon anything you feel is important or specific to your circumstances. The more you know, the safer you’ll feel!
