Post-operative Appointments are for the surgeon to gauge your progress and assess any further needs you may have to improve your results or experience.  They are also for you to share your thoughts, express concerns or simply gush with happiness about your outcome.  Here are some tips you may find useful to help you prepare for these appointments and get you through them.  Hopefully you will have determined the cost issues of future post-operative check ups.

Don't be afraid to discuss any concerns you may have or any dissatisfaction you may be feeling.  Just be sure that you know that you are still healing and will continue to heal for several months before you can judge your outcome.  Some complications or undesirable attributes can be seen within a few days or weeks whereas some may take a few months.  Please see our Message Board for support from real patients who have had or are presently experiencing similar feelings.
