Personal Consultations with Dr Wagh

There will be an elaborate 1 st session, which will be repeated if necessary till your queries and doubts are completely answered and your fears and concerns are completely assuaged. A detailed and frank discussion, about the various options with their benefits as well as their possible risks and complications applicable to the specific desired cosmetic goal, will be carried out.

Dr Wagh will elicit a detailed history and undertake a detailed physical examination as necessary in your case. He will assess your physical and emotional status and discuss your specific cosmetic goals for the surgery. Please inform him truthfully about your past and present medical and surgical history, your last menstrual cycle or periods (female patients), any allergies, any addictions (smoking, alcohol etc) and any medications that you may have used in the past or using presently.

Prior to confirming your date of surgery, there will usually be another consultation with Dr Wagh to discuss your investigation reports, give you pre-operative advice and explain to you what to expect post-operatively. Dr Wagh will also guide you about contacting the dealers for compression garments, implants and / or post-surgical adjuvant scar therapy as applicable in your case.

You will be given general pre-operative advice for cosmetic surgery that includes stopping smoking at least a week before your surgery and for several days after, avoiding medications that may increase bleeding (eg. Aspirin) or retard healing. You may be started on specific medications in advance to reduce post-operative swelling (eg. Disperzyme) or pain (eg. Arnica).

There may be other specific pre-operative instructions depending on the particular type of surgical procedures and anaesthesia planned for you. You will also be informed about the specific postoperative care and precautions applicable to you. Please understand Dr Wagh's instructions and follow up for postoperative checkups as and when advised by him.
