Five Questions to Ask at Your Breast Augmentation Consultation

Breast Augmentation Consultation

Breast Augmentation Consultation

 Even if you are determined to have breast augmentation, going in for a breast augmentation consultation can be scary. You might be very nervous, or you might have a ton of questions. It is a good idea to write out your list of questions in advance so that if you become flustered or nervous during the consultation you can remember what you wanted to ask the surgeon. Here are five questions that should be on your list.

Are silicone breast implants or saline implants better for me and why?

There are many advantages and disadvantages to both silicone and saline breast implants. Silicone implants can look and feel more natural, while saline implants can be safer if there is a rupture of the implant. There are several other differences and benefits to both. Talk to your surgeon about your options and find out why they are suggesting a particular implant.

What breast size do you suggest for my body frame?

You probably have an idea of the size you want your breasts to be, but medically speaking it might not be the best route to take. Larger breasts on a smaller frame can cause back problems and other issues. Talk to your surgeon about how large you can go to avoid the risk of complications in the future.

What diet and lifestyle changes do I need to make before surgery?

Many plastic surgeons will not perform breast augmentation unless you are healthy and cigarette free. If you are a smoker, you SHOULD quit smoking before your procedure. This is due to the fact that smoking cigarettes weakens your immune system and increases the chances of complications such as post-surgical infections. A proper diet may also be necessary to ensure that you are healthy enough for the surgery.

How long is recovery, and what does it entail?

Get all of the details about what to expect during recovery, including how long it will take and what you will need to do at each stage. You will likely need to take some time off work depending on your occupation. Talk to your surgeon about how much time you will need to take off and how you should restrict your movement, so that you can be prepared.

What is the total cost of the procedure?

Breast augmentation requires a surgical center and anesthesia, and you have to pay for those services and use of that space in addition to the cost of the implants and the plastic surgeon’s fees. You will also be required to pay for  medication to prevent infection, minimize nausea, and treat your pain. Find out what all of the costs are going to be up front and make sure that nothing is left out so you don’t have sticker shock when you get the bill.

If you are ready to have a consultation for your breast augmentation, contact us today  for more information or to schedule an appointment.

    I came to Dr. Mosiello’s practice as a reluctant patient who had just been given the diagnosis of breast cancer. I have been in several doctors’ office’s during my diagnosis and treatment and Dr. Mosiello’s office is my favorite. He is a very kind, competent surgeon who patiently answered questions and explained things fully. I was given clear post op directions and checked on by the nurse before my first post op visit and someone was always available if I had a question or concern. His staff is amazing! Melissa, Paula, Mary and Carol are all very personable and caring. This is also an office where I did not wait long periods of time to be seen. Things run smoothly and timely. I would highly recommend Dr. Mosiello to anyone in need of a plastic surgeon.

    I love Tampa Palms Plastic Surgery ~ Dr. Moseillo, Mary, Nancy & Paula. I had breast cancer and reconstruction with Dr. Moseillo several years ago and knew I would never let anyone perform surgery on me other than him. I decided I wanted to do an Upper Blepharoplasty (upper eyelid surgery). I had the surgery a few months ago, am now at my summer home in Maine and everyone is commenting on how great I look. They have no idea that I had anything done! I keep hearing, “you have amazing eyes”. I am so thrilled with the results, feel 10 years younger and if you’re thinking about this procedure, or any other for that matter, do not hesitate to go to Tampa Palms ?

    Dr. Mosiello taught me how to live again after having breast cancer. His staff is truly a blessing. He is an amazing artist and a wonderful Doctor and friend.

    Dr. Mosiello, plain and simply put , is the BEST ! I did a lot of research and he was the one I chose and am very thankful and grateful that I did, as I had consulted with other plastic surgeons from other cancer centers. Dr. Mosiello surpassed in every area. He and his staff truly care and are warm, friendly, compassionate and knowledgeable. Which takes the stress out of any pre surgery or procedure. Knowing you have the best surgeon in your corner is the most important part. Post surgical procedures look amazing and he has saved my life, and has made me whole again. Look no further, he IS the best.
