Consultation: The pre operative appointment is where you and your plastic surgeon continue to talk about the goals and realistic expectations of the operation. Usually the doctor will take measurements and photos. This is a good time to bring photos of breasts that you like. Make sure you get all your questions answered.

Preop appointment: Every office is slightly different. In most cases, you will first have a consultation to discuss your options. When you have made the decision to go forward, the pre-op appointment allows you to go over details to prepare you for your surgery. http://www.dassmd.com/breast-augmentation/index.html.

At our office...: The pre-op appointment is a chance to ask the nurse questions, sign paperwork, try on the implant sizers one more time, and take care of financial issues.
