Here are two simple rules you can follow to ensure that you get a productive surgery 
consultation with Dr. Horowitz.
1. Be prepared
If there are general questions that you can’t find answers to on our website, email us and we’ll try to respond quickly. Then if there are more specific facts that need to be clarified, the consultation will be the perfect opportunity for us to do so. Just make a list of questions that are particularly important for you.
Part of being prepared is simply knowing what you want to achieve with plastic surgery. Many patients research a procedure off and on for years before they schedule an appointment, so it is common to see patients that know what they want. However, that’s not a requirement; if you are just curious about plastic surgery and want honest information from a professional go ahead and schedule your consultation.
2. Be open
Openness and effective communication are important from the first consult all the way through the surgery. If it’s difficult for you to communicate your goals, use pictures! You can view our before and after photos or bring examples that you think are appealing. Better communication about your desires and specific needs will help Dr. Horowitz ensure that they are met, so use whatever tools you think will aid in that process.
Don’t hide your medical history, past procedures, goals or motivations for surgery. There’s no need to be defensive. Just remember that a consultation is just that – there’s no commitment and you can take as much time as you need to consider your options afterward.
