Consultation for Breast Augmentation

Why is consultation important?

As a patient looking for a doctor to provide you care. You should use the initial consultation to evaluate the thoughtfulness of the surgeon, his/her qualifications, and the quality of information that is communicated.

With cosmetic breast augmentation surgery, it is crucial to establish a robust patient-surgeon rapport at the initial consultation. An experienced surgeon will use the initial consultation to assess whether the specific treatment requested by the patient is technically feasible and whether the expected outcome following breast augmentation is realistic.

Breast Examination

Your breast augmentation consultation will always include a thorough breast examination. Key breast measurements will be recorded. Your breast envelope and skin will be evaluated for elasticity, thickness, and distensibility. These soft tissue qualities will define your breasts’ tolerance to accept a defined range of breast implant sizes (dimensions, volumes). Your areola size (pigmented skin around the nipple) and nipple position will be noted. This will assist in determining the technical feasibility of specific breast incisions (i.e. peri-areolar incision) and also determine whether concomitant procedures to reposition sagging breasts or poorly positioned nipples are necessary (i.e. mastopexy). Using your breast measurements and examination findings, Dr. Chen Lee will make specific recommendations that maximize the likelihood that your objectives will be attained with a breast augmentation procedure in Montreal.
