Determining if you’re a good candidate for plastic surgery involves assessing several factors to ensure you are physically and emotionally prepared for the procedure. A focus on overall health is essential, with an emphasis on managing chronic conditions to ensure optimal health before surgery.

A healthy lifestyle, including non-smoking and good habits, is encouraged to promote optimal healing and outcomes. During the consultation, surgeons assess unique anatomy and skin characteristics to recommend the most suitable procedures, tailoring surgical plans to individual needs and goals. A comprehensive review of medical history ensures safety, taking into account allergies, medications, and other factors in the treatment plan. Recovery considerations are also addressed, with discussions on how occupation and lifestyle may impact healing, ensuring a smooth recovery process. You’ll receive a detailed evaluation, and personalized recommendations and gain insight into potential risks and benefits that will ensure your needs are met.

Partridge Plastic Surgery begins your transformative journey by offering a thorough and informative initial consultation, ensuring you feel prepared and confident in your decision-making process.

During a consultation with a plastic surgeon, you can expect a thorough discussion about your goals, health and the procedure you’re considering. Before the consultation, it’s helpful to reflect on your aesthetic concerns and desired outcomes. Gather any relevant medical records or photographs and consider any previous surgeries or conditions. Preparing a list of questions can also enhance your experience.

The consultation typically begins with a review of your medical history, including past surgeries, medical conditions, allergies, and current medications to assess your suitability for surgery. The surgeon will perform a physical examination of the area of concern, evaluating your anatomy, skin tone, and underlying tissue,s and may take measurements or photographs to assist in planning.

The surgeon will then discuss your goals and expectations, explaining how the procedure can meet those goals. Various surgical options, techniques, and potential outcomes will be discussed, along with the associated risks, benefits, incision sites, scar placement, recovery time, anesthesia, and pain management strategies. You will also receive education about pre and post-operative care, including dietary recommendations, activity restrictions, and medication protocols.

To ensure realistic expectations, the surgeon may share before-and-after photos from similar procedures. You will have the opportunity to ask any remaining questions and make an informed decision about your surgery. Transparent information about costs, including procedure fees, anesthesia, and facility charges, will be provided, along with available payment options or financing plans.

A follow-up appointment will be scheduled after your consultation to address any concerns and provide preoperative instructions, ensuring you’re prepared for your procedure.

At Partridge Plastic Surgery, we recognize that many clients opt for combination surgeries, to achieve comprehensive aesthetic enhancements. This approach, which may include procedures like tummy tucks, breast augmentation and liposuction, can streamline both transformation and recovery. However, careful planning and consideration are required to ensure safety and optimal results.

When considering multiple procedures, client safety is paramount. A thorough health evaluation is conducted to ensure you are in optimal condition for surgery and have realistic expectations. The compatibility of the procedures is assessed to confirm they can be safely combined without compromising recovery or results. Surgical plans are customized based on the complexity and number of procedures, with detailed recovery plans provided to manage time off work and daily activities. Anesthesia is carefully managed by certified professionals to reduce risks during combination surgeries.

Combining procedures offers benefits such as comprehensive aesthetic improvements, reduced recovery time and cost efficiency. However, risks include extended surgical time, anesthesia exposure, potential complications like infection or bleeding and the possibility of unsatisfactory results or asymmetry. A personalized consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential to review your medical history, discuss your goals and assess the safety and compatibility of the procedures.

Once combining procedures is deemed suitable, meticulous planning and preparation are required. This includes a comprehensive preoperative evaluation, discussions of risks and benefits, informed consent, and a tailored postoperative care plan to manage pain, swelling, and follow-up appointments.

By adhering to these guidelines and collaborating with our trusted team at Partridge Plastic Surgery, you can significantly increase the likelihood of a successful and satisfying outcome from combined plastic surgery procedures.
