Questions to Ask your Breast Surgeon

Before breast surgery, you should prepare questions for your surgeon to answer during your initial consultation. If you are interested in breast augmentation, be sure to ask questions about what to expect on surgery day and what the long-term results will be like.

An important part of breast surgery is choosing the individual who will be entrusted with handling your procedure. To help you choose a breast surgeon, ask about the surgeon’s qualifications, including experience, education and training. Questions to ask include:

• Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
• How much experience do you have with this breast surgery? Can you tell me how many breast surgeries you do each year?
• How many of your breast surgery patients have required follow-up operations? 
• What results can I expect, and what will recovery be like?
• How do you handle any complications I might experience?
• May I see before and after photos of the procedure I am pursuing? Were you the surgeon for these cases?

By asking the appropriate questions, you will find an experienced surgeon who cares about your wellbeing and the success of your breast surgery.
