What to expect

History

This will depend a little on the type of plastic surgery you are having. If it is cosmetic surgery your surgeon will spend some time with you going through your expectations, the reality of cosmetic surgery and allowing you to make an informed decision before you proceed.
For other plastic surgery the surgeon will concentrate on the area in question, asking how the problem developed and what problems it is causing before deciding on the best treatment.

Examination

The plastic surgeon will concentrate on the area in question, performing a focused examination on this region.
