After making the decision to pursue breast augmentation, preparing for your initial consultation is essential. In addition to creating a list of questions for the surgeon and considering your preferred breast implant size, you may want to decide whether bringing a friend is a good option.
While bringing a friend is a great way to provide emotional support, having someone with you offers additional benefits.
1. A Friend Provides a Second Set of Ears
During your initial breast augmentation consultation, your surgeon will provide you with a ton of information. You will be talking about your goals, deciding on implant sizes and profiles, and learning what to expect for the procedure and your recovery.
Having a friend or family member come with you gives you a second set of ears to help you remember. You may even ask your friend to take notes during your appointment to help you remember key points.
2. Immediate Feedback on Implant Sizes and Looks
Encourage your friend to bring a notebook so they can take notes to help you both remember key points during your consultation.
During your breast augmentation consult, you will likely try on and experiment with different implant options and profiles. While you will have a mirror available to see how the different implants look, having a second opinion from a friend can really make a difference. They may see things that you don’t and, in the end, their feedback may prove invaluable.
3. Recovery Preparation
When choosing which friend or family member to go with you, consider choosing someone that will also be available to help you after your procedure and during your recovery. When they come with you to the consult, not only can they help you decide on implants, but they can find out how to help you during recovery.
