The first contact between doctor and patient is fundamental to achieving precise, safe and effective surgical planning
The first step for anyone who wants to have eyelid plastic surgery is choosing the surgeon. Next comes one of the most important moments of the entire process: the first consultation.
Much more than a mere formality, the first contact between doctor and patient is fundamental to understanding expectations about the surgery and ensuring precise planning.
During this initial meeting, it is essential for the patient to share detailed information about their medical history, including previous illnesses, family health history, and current treatments and medications, especially those related to weight loss and recent aesthetic procedures. These details are fundamental for the surgeon to better understand the patient’s condition and plan the procedure safely and effectively.
Recently, we have seen an increase in the number of patients who undergo aesthetic procedures, resulting in tissues infiltrated with fillers and collagen stimulators. These materials can pose a challenge during surgery, making the tissues harder to handle and compromising the results. That is why it is common for patients to have an ultrasound of the facial skin during the preoperative assessment, in order to identify possible obstacles to surgery.
It is therefore fundamental that all of these issues be discussed and clarified at the first consultation. An open, detailed dialogue between surgeon and patient contributes significantly to the successful planning and execution of plastic surgery, ensuring precise and satisfactory results.
