As you begin to contemplate your journey into plastic surgery, you may find yourself filled with questions. The questions you should ask your facial plastic surgeon depend on your personal goals as you seek to alter your facial aesthetics. Finding the questions that are right for you makes all the difference in how prepared and comfortable you feel with any procedure you choose to pursue.
Asking your plastic surgeon this question helps you learn about their ideas regarding visual aesthetics. You want someone who communicates their feelings and goals related to facial rejuvenation and the work they do. This can help you avoid a mismatch between your aesthetic goals and the surgeon’s views on the ideal outcome.
Your facial identity is important, as it reflects who you are and how you want the world to view you. Beyond basic facial features, such as shape, hair, and eye color, understanding the aspects of your face that are significant to you is crucial. You want to enhance your aesthetic while maintaining your identity. Clear communication with your surgeon can contribute to satisfaction with the results.
Many facial plastic surgeries require some form of anesthesia, whether that be a local or general anesthetic, to ensure you are comfortable during your surgery. It is important to confirm that a qualified provider will administer the anesthesia. Your safety is paramount. If you have safety concerns, consider other options.
Something you may not consciously think about is how the location feels. You should feel comfortable, safe, and heard in a doctor’s office. You want the staff to genuinely care about you and your well-being and prioritize your needs as you pursue your facial aesthetic goals. If you do not feel comfortable, it may affect how you approach your procedures and interfere with your recovery.
It is important to know what to expect when recovering from your surgery. Knowing the timeline and process may help you feel more at ease and facilitate better healing. This also helps in planning for your needs, such as childcare or time off work. Being informed supports your recovery process and is important to ask your plastic surgeon.
