Q: Can you schedule a consultation just to get more information about a procedure that you are interested in? Is it okay to do one if you only know that you are interested? Ugh, sorry I am just confused about consultations.

A: A consultation is a GREAT way to find out more about a procedure even if you are not sure about it yet. You can certainly gather general information online, but meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon in person will give you information that is tailored to you. Many of my patients come in dead set on a particular procedure, but when we meet we discover that an additional procedure – or sometimes a different one entirely – is needed to achieve the desired result. Many surgeons offer free consultations or charge a fee that is credited toward the cost of surgery if you decide to proceed.
