Importance of Two Surgical Consultations
One key protocol outlined in our toolkit is the requirement for two surgical consultations prior to the procedure. This practice is implemented to ensure that patients are thoroughly informed and prepared for their journey. Before scheduling an appointment with Dr Glenn Murray (AHPRA Registration MED0001196978), Registered Medical Practitioner, Specialist General Practitioner (specialist registration in general practice), a GP referral is necessary.
During the first consultation, Dr. Murray will discuss the foundational aspects of the procedure, take necessary measurements, and conduct fittings. Patients may find the volume of information presented during this session overwhelming and may leave with additional questions.
Prior to the second consultation, patients are encouraged to view an informative video detailing the potential complications associated with breast augmentation. Slides outlining these complications are also provided. Following this, patients will meet with Dr. Murray again to address any remaining concerns or queries. This time between consultations allows for a cooling-off period, enabling patients to reflect on their decision and empowering them to assess whether the procedure is suitable for them.
Personalised Care and Psychological Considerations
While two consultations may seem time-consuming, this process is beneficial not only for patients but also for the Doctor. It allows Dr. Murray to understand each patient as an individual, considering both their physical and psychological needs. In today’s environment, where social media plays a significant role in shaping perceptions of beauty, it is essential to address the psychological factors influencing the decision to pursue cosmetic surgery.
Our goal is to help you make a thorough and informed choice regarding breast augmentation. Understanding the potential risks and complications associated with surgery is crucial in determining whether the benefits outweigh the risks.
