Other important questions Am I a good candidate? Your visit with Dr. Adams will determine if you are a good candidate. If you are in good physical and mental health, have no breast disease and have a reasonable desire to have your breast enlarged you would be an appropriate candidate. What does the surgery cost? You will be quoted a price to include your surgeon's, hospital, and anesthesia fees. How do I pay for surgery? The surgery costs are discussed with you following your visit with Dr. Adams. You will be given an estimate for your surgeon's, hospital and anesthesia fees. For your convenience the fees will be paid in one sum, at least two weeks in advance. Checks, money orders, cash and credit cards can be used for payment. Financing for procedures is also available thru Bank One. Are there scars? Yes. Whenever surgery is performed on your body a scar will result. The incisions are placed in areas to make the scar the least noticeable. Your physician will discuss the placement of incisions during your first visit. Will I be awake during surgery? Dr. Adams prefers to perform breast augmentation using general anesthesia with board certified anesthesiologists to give you maximal comfort and safety, as well as allowing him to concentrate on your surgical procedure and giving you your optimal result. You will be entirely asleep for the surgery. Where is the surgery performed? The surgery can be performed in a outpatient surgery center or in a hospital on an outpatient basis. Are medical photographs taken? Photographs are taken after your first visit for your surgeon and then after your surgery at about 3 months. Medical photographs are essential to help your surgeon better assess your breast symmetry and chest wall shape to assist in planning your surgery. What medications should I avoid? You should avoid or be off all diet or over the counter weight medications. The only homeopathic medications are those recommended by Dr. Adams. It is especially important to be off St. John's Wort and Ginseng, which can cause adverse effects during anesthesia. Please stop taking all aspirin and aspirin-like products, Advil, motrin, naprosyn, and ibuprofen as these medications can cause bleeding problems. Please tell Dr. Adams what medications you are on ( prescription or non-prescription) to ensure the safety of any surgery. Choosing Your Plastic Surgeon Before you proceed with breast augmentation, you should select a qualified physician with whom you feel comfortable. This may be the beginning of a long-term relationship, so choose carefully. In addition to your physician's surgical skills, you should consider how well he or she communicates with you. You also will be interacting with Dr. Adams' office staff, so be sure you feel comfortable with them as well. The goal is for all my staff to answer all your questions about your potential surgery. Another alternative is to seek referrals from friends who have had breast augmentation. Or you may contact a variety of professional organizations, including the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASPRS) 800-635-0635; the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) 888-272-7711; or your local medical society.
