The Consultation: What to Expect & How to Prepare

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most important — and often most misunderstood — parts of the cosmetic surgery journey: the consultation. Whether you're thinking about a facelift, tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or non-surgical treatments, the consultation is where your questions get answered and your options become clearer. We’ll walk through what typically happens during a cosmetic surgery consultation, from reviewing your goals and medical history to discussing potential procedures and timelines. It’s your opportunity to get a feel for the practice, the surgeon’s approach, and whether the environment aligns with your expectations. We’ll also share practical tips to help you make the most of your consultation — what to bring, what to ask, and how to prepare mentally and emotionally. This episode is designed to help current, former, and prospective patients feel more confident, informed, and empowered as they take the first step in their aesthetic journey. There’s no pressure here, just an open conversation about what you can expect and how to show up as your own best advocate.
