What a plastic surgeon exam covers
Plastic surgery is divided into two large fields: aesthetic surgery, which shapes and harmonises the appearance of the face and body, and reconstructive surgery, which restores function and appearance after injuries, operations or congenital conditions. A plastic surgeon exam is, above all, a consultation — a conversation and an assessment on which a shared decision is based.
At Medical Time the consultation begins with a conversation about what bothers you and what you would like to achieve. The doctor listens to your expectations, explains what is realistically possible and what is not, and suggests solutions that suit exactly your anatomy, age and way of life. This conversation is key, because a good aesthetic result is always based on realistic and aligned expectations.
A clinical examination of the area you want to correct follows. The surgeon assesses the quality and elasticity of the skin, the distribution of fat and soft tissue, symmetry, existing scars and everything that affects the choice and outcome of the procedure. When assessing the breasts, scars or skin changes, the exam is more detailed and, if needed, supplemented with additional diagnostics.
Based on the exam the surgeon suggests a concrete plan — which procedure, in what way, under which anaesthesia and with what recovery. The limits are explained just as honestly: when a procedure makes no sense, when it is better to wait and when the risk outweighs the benefit. The aim of the exam is not to convince you to have a procedure, but to help you make an informed and calm decision.
When to see a plastic surgeon
You see a plastic surgeon when you want to change something about your appearance that bothers you in the long term, when a consequence of an injury or operation needs to be addressed, or when you need an expert opinion on a change on your skin or body. A consultation is a useful first step even when you are not yet sure whether you want a procedure — because it gives clear information on which you base your decision.
The most common reasons for a plastic surgeon consultation are:
- aesthetic procedures of the face — correction of the nose, eyelids, ears, lifting of the face and neck
- procedures on the body — body shaping after weight loss, tummy tuck, figure shaping
- aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery — augmentation, reduction, lift or reconstruction
- correction of scars after injuries, operations or burns
- removal of skin changes — moles, growths, suspicious skin changes
- reconstruction after injuries, removal of skin tumours or congenital conditions
- signs of skin ageing and loss of firmness that you want to correct
- a second opinion on an already proposed aesthetic or reconstructive procedure
What the exam looks like — the process
A plastic surgeon consultation is painless and non-invasive, and usually takes 20 to 40 minutes, because enough time is left for the conversation and all questions. It takes place discreetly and without haste.
After the introductory conversation about your wishes and expectations, the surgeon carries out a clinical examination of the area you want to correct — assessing the skin, soft tissues, symmetry and all the factors that affect the choice of procedure. For some procedures photo documentation or measurements are used, so the plan can be made precisely and the result followed later.
The surgeon then explains the proposed options: how the procedure is performed, under which anaesthesia, how long it takes, what recovery is like, when you return to usual activities and what the possible risks and limitations are. Here it is openly discussed when it is wiser to wait or to give up.
At the end you get a clear written conclusion and, if you decide on a procedure, a preparation plan — which tests should be done, an anaesthesiologist exam and all the necessary steps before surgery. No decision is made in a hurry: the consultation is there for you to think it over calmly and without pressure.
What to bring to the exam
No special preparation is needed for a plastic surgeon consultation, but a few things can help make the conversation more complete and concrete.
It is useful to bring:
- earlier findings and discharge letters, especially if you have already had operations in that area
- results of diagnostics so far (breast ultrasound, mammography, histopathology of skin changes)
- a list of the medications you take, especially blood-thinning and hormone therapy
- details of chronic conditions, allergies and past reactions to anaesthesia
- photographs or examples of results you like, if you want to show them as a reference
When you receive the report
You receive the conclusion of the consultation and recommendations immediately, at the exam itself. The surgeon explains verbally what the realistic options are and hands you a written report with the proposed plan.
If you decide on a procedure, you also receive a list of the exams and findings needed before surgery. The results of additional diagnostics or histopathology, when needed, arrive within the agreed time, and we invite you for interpretation and a discussion. All documentation and photo documentation are kept discreetly, to follow the result.
