Why the Consultation Matters
Your first consultation is the foundation of your entire plastic surgery journey. It’s not just about reviewing procedures; it’s about building trust, understanding your goals, and setting clear expectations. Many patients arrive with inspiration photos, specific concerns, or simply a desire to “feel like themselves again.” Our job at Alberta Plastic Surgery is to listen, educate, and offer guidance that matches your anatomy, lifestyle, and goals.
This meeting is essential whether you're considering a facelift, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or eyelid surgery. Every treatment plan starts here, with open communication and individualized care.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
To get the most out of your consultation, come prepared with:
- A list of your goals and concerns: Be specific about what you want to change or improve.
- Medical history and current medications: Safety is our top priority, so bring relevant health info.
- Questions you want answered: We welcome all questions — from risks and recovery to results and costs.
- Photos (if helpful): Some patients bring examples to show what they’re hoping for.
Being open and honest about your health, expectations, and lifestyle helps your surgeon recommend the right options — or let you know if a different approach is better.
