First Pre-operative Consultation
The results of cosmetic surgery can be very gratifying to both
you and the surgeon. Before you have any treatment, a
consultation with the surgeon will take place, involving a
full discussion without any obligation.
Without a doubt, the single most important stage in any
cosmetic surgical procedure is the preoperative consultation.
At the initial consultation the surgeon has a duty to decide
if you have a problem that can be improved by an operation.
Sometimes your feelings about what you look like are very
different from what other people see. The best results in
cosmetic surgery are obtained when the surgeon and the patient
agree about the problem in the first instance. Then the
surgeon has to ask himself whether there is an appropriate
treatment that will improve it. It is obviously pointless to
undertake a treatment that might not work or might even make
things worse. In order to be successful, an operation has to
be performed on the right person using the right technique.
Cosmetic surgery is not invisible . But by careful operative
technique and the accurate positioning of the incisions, the
scars can be almost invisible and are only detectable on the
closest examination. Patients on their part should realise
that some skin heals better than others. This, of course
should be fully discussed in the initial consultation – as
should all likely complications. This initial consultation can
take as long as necessary in order for the surgeon to tell you
enough about the operation for you to be able to make a valid
decision.
The initial consultation is a mutual process: both you and the
surgeon will be trying to assess each other. You will be
trying to decide whether to allow the surgeon to treat you.
There are three criteria that are important in this assessment
process:
1. Be sure the surgeon understands the problem. Understanding
the patient’s problem is vital, because if the surgeon never
quite empathised with the patient, a successful outcome would
be a fluke. You need to consider whether the treatment
proposed by the surgeon is actually what you are seeking and
whether it is relevant to your problem.
2. The surgeon will prove to you that he can do something
about it successfully. At consultation you will be shown
photographs of previous patients, which should give you a good
idea of what the surgeon is likely to achieve.
3. To have a cosmetic operation performed by any particular
surgeon is a very personal choice. It is important to
establish a good rapport. Patient and surgeon should form an
amicable relationship based on honesty, integrity and trust.
Once the surgeon has decided that there is a treatment that
will work, he should inform you fully about the operation and
the postoperative course of events, such as when the stitches
are removed and when you ca expect to be ‘presentable’ again
after the operation
The surgeon has to ask you about your past medical history in
order to find out if there are any details that might
influence an operation. When the surgeon knows more about you
he is then in a better position to operate effectively and
safely.
The surgeon’s job at the preoperative interview is simpler.
There is only one criterion: whether he thinks you are going
to be pleased if you have the proposed treatment. If the
surgeon feels that there is a significant risk of
disappointment then he would be unlikely to offer it. |
