| Questions on the Breast Lift Surgery | Before choosing to undergo any surgical procedure, which is connected with the breast lift, there occurs a consultation between the potential patient and the surgeon, who will be conducting the breast lift procedure. As a rule during the consultation is conducted with the aim of discussing such issues as the desired outcome, all possible options, which are available to achieve the mentioned outcome, the very procedure, just as well as all possible risks, complications and limitations, which are connected with the surgery, and with the post – surgical period. The surgeon also provides all necessary information about the anesthetic options, the location and the description of where the breast lift surgery will be conducted (i.e. hospital vs. office surgical suite), and all costs, associated with the procedure. Besides, there also occurs a discussion of the patient’s medical history, and a physical examination of the breast area.
In order to become well educated about the whole breast lift procedure, just as well to assist in formulating realistic expectations, it is strongly recommended that every potential patient would look through numerous before and after pictures, speak with previous breast lift patients and obtain responses to the questions, mentioned below:
1. Would I be a good candidate for the breast lift procedure? In case if yes, then what kind of breast lift surgery technique would be the most appropriate for my personal case?
2. Are the results, I have described and I wish to obtain realistic?
3. Where will the breast lift surgery be conducted, and how long may it take?

10. Has it ever happened that your malpractice insurance coverage was denied, revoked or suspended?
