therefore it is important for patients to choose a surgeon with whom they feel comfortable. When talking to potential doctors, individuals should ask themselves:
• Does the surgeon take all the time I need to answer my questions, or do I feel rushed in the office?
• Does the doctor listen to my personal concerns?• Does he or she seem willing to tailor my procedure to
meet my goals or do they offer a one-size-fits-all procedure?
• While safety and experience are, of course, the top concerns, a personal connection is also important when it comes to achieving outstanding cosmetic results.
The Initial Consultation:• Once a patient has chosen his or her plastic

Most of the doctors schedule the first appointment months before the procedure, while others like the consultation and the tummy tuck to follow in close succession.
