Choosing the Correct Breast Implant: Part 8 Bring a Friend to Your Consultation
But many patients like the support that a friend or significant other can provide during a consultation. This is a very good thing because as I said, patients don’t always hear or remember everything that I tell them. Having a friend or significant other with you during the consultation adds another set of ears and thus increases the amount of information that is obtained. It’s also good for them to take notes while we talk thus increasing even more the amount of information gained.
In addition, these friends, if they understand your desires, can lend another set of eyes that can help determine the best breast implant. This is slightly more touchy because they must be able to put aside their own personal preferences for the sake of the patient. But a true friend or significant other can still be quite helpful when choosing the correct breast implant.
