There are some critical questions you should ask your healthcare providers before you agree to a surgical procedure. Make sure the answers you receive are clear and satisfy your curiosity:
- Can I choose the surgeon?
- Is the surgeon fellowship trained?
- What are the procedure’s risks?
- What are my anesthesia choices?
- Does the procedure need to be performed in the hospital?
- Can my care limit exposure to infections?
- Can scarring be minimized?
- What kind of I care will I receive?
- How fast can I recover at home?
- How much will it cost?
