You may feel excited and nervous at the same time if you’ve been considering having cosmetic surgery and have made an appointment for your initial consultation. The dreams you’ve been having about your ideal look can finally come to fruition, and your surgeon may even open up your eyes to new ideas and feedback about the types of changes you’re interested in making to your body.

Making the decision to undergo breast augmentation is exciting, but can also be stressful if you’re not quite sure what to expect. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in the United States, and has maintained the top position since 2006. Considering the popularity of the surgery, there’s no reason for you to stress or worry about your procedure, especially if you’re prepared for surgery and know what to expect.

Let's focus on the breast augmentation consultation in this third installment of the closely followed and eagerly anticipated Breast Augmentation Basics series.  At this point, you've thought about breast augmentation for some time, and you've decided that it makes sense to pursue the idea further.  You've done some homework on the whole process, including implants, the procedure itself, potential surgeons, and the recovery process.  Now you are ready for the consultation!

Of course, you can always get the notion, spontaneously, that breast augmentation would be perfect for you, then schedule the first consultation available with the first halfway decent surgeon you can find.  But is that really how you want to approach this?  Take your time.
