The initial consultation is extremely important to review the patient's medical history, goals, and expectations, as well as build mutual trust and rapport. Numerous breast lift before and after photos are reviewed at the office. The breast lift surgical procedure is carefully explained and the alternatives are discussed. Understand that each patient has different breast contours and sizes and different expectations and requests. No one procedure can be expected to fulfill each individual's needs. A complete evaluation reviewing expectations and physical examination is needed to determine the best choice of procedure(s) for each individual patient. The breast lift surgical plan as well as the incision/scar placement is reviewed. It is also important to understand that breasts are naturally asymmetrical. Every effort is made to make the breasts symmetrical and as close as possible to the desired size. However, no guarantees as to the exact size, shape, or symmetry can be made by any plastic surgeon.

Prospective patients are encouraged to speak with previous patients about their breast lift surgery and results. Following the initial consultation and after appropriate time for reflection and decision-making, an appointment is scheduled for routine preparation and informed consent. Additional questions and concerns regarding the breast lift surgery may also be addressed. Routine blood analysis, a mammogram, and medical clearance are required prior to surgery.
