Model, not actual patient.
An in-depth consultation is the first key step in the gynecomastia cosmetic surgery procedure. The surgeon will educate the patient about the procedure, discuss its risks and complications, and inform him about the preparation steps required for pre- and post-operative phases.
They will also discuss the type of anesthesia to be used, type of surgical facility, and the estimated costs of the procedure.
The first goal of the surgeon will be to assess the patient’s candidacy for male breast reduction surgery, and help him make the best decision. An effective consultation is the foundation of a successful gynecomastia procedure. Remarkable, percipient, and board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides gynecomastia surgery to patients in Dallas, Texas, and surrounding communities in this region of the country.
Safety and Health Aspects
The patient’s medical and surgical history will be reviewed during the consultation. The surgeon will also examine his current health condition to determine the risk during gynecomastia cosmetic surgery. The patient should be prepared to share information about any specific lifestyle habits such as smoking. The surgeon may direct the patient to refrain from smoking for a few weeks before the surgery.
Information about any prescription or over the counter drugs, including herbal supplements and vitamins should be shared with the surgeon during the consultation. The surgeon may reschedule some of the medications in consultation with the physician.
Goals and Expectations
The surgeon will closely engage with the patient to understand their specific aesthetic goals and expectations from gynecomastia surgery. These inputs will be taken into account while preparing a customized surgical plan to meet the unique needs of the patient. To help the patient develop realistic expectations, the surgeon may also encourage them to review gynecomastia surgery before and after images.
It is amazing what digital technology has done. There is not one major industry in the world that has not incorporated this type of technology into their game plan. Now the plastic surgery uses cutting edge pictures to enable patients to predict the future by applying what they see on the screen to their own body. This enables them to make poignant and critical decisions and be comfortable with whatever decision they choose to make.
Transparency has been fully realized with website pictures.
