PS Consult
I'm about a year and half out of having my DS, and I schedulded a consult for plastic surgery for Oct 25th, Im interested in a possible breast lift with implants, and a possible TT/ or lipo for my adominal area. I was wondering if I could get some imput on some good questions to ask the potiential surgeon I'm going to see. He does have experience with PS after major weight loss, I have looked at many of his before/afters of other patients that have had ps after major weight loss, and the results look amazing. Any imput, and some thoughts on some questions I should be asking would be great! Thanks!
If you want to get somewhere you have to know where you want to go and how to get there. Then never, never, never, give up!

Here's a few that I asked.....
What type of anesthesia is used?
I knew that he did surgery at their on site surgical facility, but you will want to know if they have that or if it's done at the hospital.
I asked how I would be stitched up. Internal/external sutures? Drains?
Are compression garments provided or do you need to purchase them?
What type of post-op pain medicine is prescribed.
I wanted to know his policies on revisions if needed. Would I be charged and what did the fees cover?
I explained what my expectations were and asked if he felt they were realistic. I made sure he knew what I was hoping to achieve.
