What to ask at consult?



Recommended Posts

So I have my first plastics consult next Monday... I have no idea what questions I should be asking the surgeon? I have never had any plastic surgery before and frankly don't know anything about it. I would like to get a breast lift and augmentation, arms, possibly a Tummy Tuck and maybe lower body lift. So if anyone can help me compile a list of questions or concerns I should bring up please help!!!

Just because someone is a plastic surgeon doesn't mean they have experience with WLS patients. Make sure to ask. I'm going to post a link from a girl on YouTube who shared her journey, you can find a lot of her videos. Most people have success. My friend had to have two separate surgeries because I think total operating time was longer than 8 hours...she said that healing in her thigh lift hurt the most, God Bless!!!

Went to my consult with a plastic surgeon who comes highly recommended. Also my sister and nephew used him. He deals with alot of weightloss patients as well. He quoted me $18220 for a Tummy Tuck, arm lift, breast lift and augmentation along with removal of extra skin from the sides of my boobs( used to be fat on the sides of the boobs, where the bra band goes) so now I just have to see if I can come up with all that money....

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
