Ask Dr. Elliott: What Happens During a Breast Reconstruction Consultation?
As a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, I frequently work alongside breast cancer patients to help offer relief and options for breast reconstruction. In a breast reconstruction consultation, I talk thoroughly with them to aid in the decision for choosing the best procedure for their individual needs.
During the breast reconstruction consultation, a patient wants to know the ins and outs of breast reconstruction in terms of the procedure itself as well as the options available. All of your questions should be matched by knowledgeable, clear answers provided by your chosen board-certified plastic surgeon. Regardless what route you choose to pursue, I value caring for and helping my patients comprehend every step of the surgical process.
The most important thing you can do when you meet me or any surgeon is to do your research ahead of time, ask thorough questions, and courageously address any concerns so you can completely consider all possibilities before making the life-changing decision of having breast reconstruction. Learn more details in my video, posted below.
We will continue to post new videos discussing various aspects of plastic and reconstructive surgery in the coming months.
