Your first visit is a conversation, not a commitment. Here is how we use it to understand your goals and design a plan that fits you.
The consultation is where everything begins. It is a confidential, unhurried conversation focused entirely on you — your goals, your anatomy, and your expectations. Many patients arrive nervous and leave relieved, simply because they finally feel heard.
Before you arrive
You do not need to prepare anything elaborate. It helps to think about what is motivating you, whether there are specific features you would like to refine, and any questions or concerns you want addressed. Some patients bring reference photos; that is welcome, but never required.
During the conversation
A thoughtful consultation usually covers:
- Your goals — what you hope to change, and just as importantly, what you want to keep.
- Your health history — to ensure any plan is safe and appropriate for you.
- A candid assessment — an honest discussion of what is achievable, including when a different approach (or no surgery at all) is the better choice.
- The plan — the recommended procedure or treatment, what recovery involves, and the timeline.
We would rather tell you something true than something convenient. If a procedure will not serve you well, you will hear that.
In person or by Zoom
Consultations are available in person at New City Medical Plaza or by Zoom for patients traveling from out of town. A virtual first conversation is a comfortable way to begin before planning a visit.
No pressure, ever
You will never be rushed into a decision. The goal of the consultation is clarity — so that if you choose to move forward, you do so feeling informed, confident, and genuinely cared for.
