A surgeon's habits are reflected in every aspect of the surgeon's practice. The quality and detail of a surgeon's information materials should tell you a lot about the surgeon.
You've obtained the names of several qualified surgeons, and you've checked their credentials. Now you're ready to call their offices and request information.
Before you pick up the phone, do you know what to request? Do you know what questions to ask about breast augmentation? Do you want to simply request information, or would you like to spend some time on the phone talking with someone about breast augmentation? What do you hope to learn from your call? What would you like to get from the surgeon? To get the most from your time, you need answers to each of these questions before you call!
Other sources of information can also help. The Internet, the FDA, and implant manufacturers. Once you've gathered the information, what do you do with it?
How do you evaluate information from surgeons? Before you visit a surgeon, gathering and evaluating information will make you better informed and better able to evaluate the surgeon during your consultation.
Calling a Surgeon's Office
When a prospective augmentation patient calls a plastic surgeons office, the three most commonly asked questions. How much does it cost? Which way does the surgeon like to do it? Which type of implant does the surgeon use?
These three questions are not the most important things you should focus on during your first call to a surgeon's office. Yes, you may eventually want to know the answers to those questions. But initially, you might ask yourself, Before I ask the price, is this a surgeon that I would even consider? You can help answer this important question during your first phone call to a surgeon's office.
If you really want to start off asking questions that will tell you the most, ask. How long will it be after my surgery until I can do all my normal activities, such as lifting my arms above my head and lying with my full weight on my breasts? When will I be able to drive my car and lift all normal-weight objects? Will I have bandages, drains, or straps, and will I need narcotic pain medications?
Rather than asking questions on your first call to a surgeon's office, focus on listening. Listen for three things in your first call to the office Courtesy, service, and Knowledge.
Doing your homework, and getting the right information is essential to understanding and choosing the right surgeon. Asking all the questions you can will help benefit you in the long run
