All of the intriguing questions about the surgical and post-surgical phases can be answered by the patient during the consultation.
The surgeon will also evaluate the patient’s overall health during the consultation phase, taking into account any current conditions, prescription drugs, allergies, and a family history of breast cancer. This type of information is required for understanding the possible risks related to the procedure. The surgeon will examine the breasts in general detail, taking note of their size, shape, skin quality, and nipple position. This examination is for determining the best surgical strategy possible.
Following the examination, the surgeon will go over the various implant options, including the breast surgery sizes, shapes, and potential locations for incisions. Discussing the anticipated outcomes is also important.
Let's say the surgeon hasn't discussed options for augmentation. The patient can then inquire about the available options, methods, and implant types (round or anatomical/teardrop), as well as the submuscular and subgular implant placement options.
The patient might also inquire about breastfeeding after recovering from plastic surgery. They can give birth and breastfeed the child without any concerns because the current breast plastic surgeries do not harm the gland.
