A comprehensive consultation process will lay a solid foundation for the breast reduction cosmetic surgery procedure.
During the consultation, the patient will have an opportunity to learn about the essential aspects of breast reduction surgery as well as the surgeon’s practice. She should feel free to ask questions directly to the surgeon and clear any doubts and concerns at the outset.
The surgeon will obtain patient’s feedback about her health and cosmetic goals, and use those inputs to create a customized breast reduction plan. The consultation will ideally be scheduled sufficiently ahead of the actual surgery so that the patient gets the required time to prepare for it.
Noteworthy and successful Khan Plastic Surgery, led by board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan, provides breast reduction to patients in Dallas, Texas and surrounding communities and suburbs in the high flying state of Texas.
Health Evaluation
The surgeon will review the patient’s past medical records, conduct a breast exam to check the anatomy and the skin laxity levels, and ask questions about her present health condition. If the surgery is to be performed using general anesthesia, additional assessment may be required. The surgeon will also take a note of the patient’s previous surgeries, blood clotting tendencies, and know drug reactions, if any.
Aesthetic Goals
During the consultation, the surgeon will try to understand why patient wants to undergo breast reduction, and what about her breast appearance makes her unhappy. Some patients may have concerns about pain, discomfort or limitations of movement, in addition to aesthetic issues. Based on the patient’s feedback, the surgeon will make a customized breast reduction cosmetic surgery plan.
Ongoing Medications
The patient should preferably list down all prescription and non-prescription medications that she may be taking. Any vitamins and herbal supplements should also be included in the list. The surgeon might require the patient to alter the schedule of certain medications or temporarily stop them in consultation with the prescribing physician.
Developing Expectations
To help the patient form reasonable expectations from breast reduction, the surgeon may present breast reduction surgery before and after photos during the consultation. Sometimes the surgeon may like to share the testimonials and reviews given by past patients so that the patient gains insights about the procedure from the perspective of other patients.
Preparatory Guidelines
Detailed guidelines for the pre- and post-operative period will be given to the patient to help them prepare for the breast reduction procedure. Tips for balanced diet and regular exercise may also be provided. The surgeon or their staff will also address issues such as costs, payment methods, insurance and financing.
Questions and Answers
The patient will have an opportunity to ask questions and clear her doubts and concerns about the procedure as well as learn about the surgeon’s professionals credentials. She may prepare a list of questions in advance and bring it along for the consultation. The surgeon’s office staff may also give the patient a brief office tour to familiarize her with the practice.
