Ladies I am sooooo excited!!!

Today I set up my consultation with Dr. Ciaravino in Houston, Tx and I am stoked!!! I know its just the consultation but it makes it feel that much more real that I am really about to get my breast augmentation!!! My consultation is set for July 14th at 3pm. I am doing my consult early so that I can get the surgery date that I want in October. So ladies what are some common questions that I should ask on my consult??? I am just so excited to finally have my breast augmentation in the works now!!!

Hey girl,
That is so great, it does make it seem so real...go you!

Heres a few questions...hope they help...
(1) What are the breast enhancement options available to me?
(2) Can you give me a step by step explanation of the variou surgical approaches?
(3) Which different types of breast implants can I choose from, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each type?
(4) What tools do you have to hel me understand how I will look after the surgery?
(5) Can I choose any size I want?
(6)What incision technique do you use and why?
(7) What are the risks and complications, and how often do they occur?
(8) How long will it take me to recover completely from the operation?
(9)How long will it be before I see results?
(10) What will the scars be like?
(11) How much experience do you have with breast enhancement?
(12)Do you have before and after photographs of patients on whom you have performed surgery that I can review?
(13) If I have problems who should I contact?
(14) Should I inform my own Doctor?
(15) Is there a follow up plan for me after surgery?

These are some questions that were in a booklet I have...I would also ask if they use drains post op/ Because my PS did and I think this really helped with my swelling and recovery...I feel great
