📌 Visit www.apresplasticsurgery.comMost plastic surgery practices have one goal: get you into the operating room as quickly as possible. The problem is, rushing into surgery is often the single biggest reason patients end up disappointed, overspent, or back for a revision they never should have needed.I have performed over 2,500 procedures across 14 years of practice. What I'm about to share are things most surgeons won't say because they cost practices revenue. Your outcome depends on hearing them.In this episode, I'm going to break down the five most important things your plastic surgeon probably isn't telling you, so you can make the right decisions before you ever step foot in an operating room.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Why Most Consultations Lead to Disappointing Results1:37 Truth 1: Surgery Might Not Be What You Need Right Now3:47 Patient Story: 50 Pounds Lost, Diabetes Controlled, Real Transformation6:29 Truth 2: Breast Implants Don't Need to Go Under the Muscle9:04 Truth 3: You Are Probably Choosing Implant Size the Wrong Way13:23 Truth 4: Body Contouring Is Not Just Removing Fat17:04 Truth 5: Your Consultation Should Change Your Plan, Not Just Confirm It18:15 3 Things to Write Down Before Any Consultation❓ QUESTIONS ANSWEREDQ: Do breast implants have to go under the muscle?A: No. Placing implants over the muscle in the proper plane carries the same low capsular contracture risk, with easier recovery and no damage to the pec muscle. The over-the-muscle approach is now standard in many practices using modern implants like Motiva.Q: Is liposuction a good option if I am significantly overweight?A: Not yet. Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, and having it done before reaching a stable healthy weight often leads to loose skin that requires a second surgery. Reaching a healthy weight first leads to better outcomes with fewer procedures overall.Q: How should I choose the right breast implant size?A: Focus on proportions to your own anatomy, not a cup size or CC number. Cup sizes vary across brands and carry no objective meaning in surgery. A 3D simulation tool showing how specific implants look on your actual body is the most reliable way to make that decision.📱 RESOURCESWebsite: www.apresplasticsurgery.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/apresplasticsurgery/🔔 Subscribe for honest, no-BS education on plastic surgery, body contouring, and the decisions that determine whether you get lasting results from a board-certified surgeon with 14 years of practice.ABOUT DR.
