Planning Your Surgery – Breast Augmentation
There is neither charge nor obligation for consultations for breast augmentation.
At your initial consultation, Dr. Bartell will listen to your concerns, describe the procedure, and show you numerous “before” and “after” photographs of previous patients. You will receive a firm price quote for the procedure, which includes the fees for the surgery and anesthesia. Information for financing is also available.
Once the decision to undergo surgery has been made, Dr. Bartell will meet with you to perform a history and physical examination. Be sure to inform Dr. Bartell if you have any allergies; if you’re taking any medications (prescription or over-the-counter), and if you smoke. He will also give you prescriptions for any medications you may need before and after the surgery. You will receive a printed set of pre- and post-operative instructions which will answer most of your questions regarding what you should do prior to your surgery date, what to have on hand at home for after your procedure, and what to do on the day of your surgery. Dr. Bartell will review these instructions with you but it is important to read these instructions carefully on your own and keep them accessible for easy reference.
