After your phone or virtual consultation with the plastic surgeon, you should take the information and materials given to you and assess them carefully. Consider the procedure timing, costs, risks, and outcomes and make sure you are comfortable with your surgeon of choice.
While doing your research online regarding a surgery you wish to have is recommended, only an in-person plastic surgery consultation will allow for an expert opinion and assessment on whether this specific procedure is right for you — and whether your condition is right for the surgery you have in mind.

If you have long been thinking about undergoing cosmetic surgery, now is the perfect time to start planning. With our new telehealth services, we are offering phone or virtual consultations to help determine your suitability and give you key information on our cosmetic procedures.
If you decide you want to go ahead with the procedure, we can work towards getting all the necessary medical clearances completed, so that once things return to normal, you’ll be ready for your surgery.
