Every patient has unique desires, needs, and nuances. For this reason, Dr. Taleisnik meets with each patient at least two or three times prior to cosmetic surgery. Dr. Taleisnik always takes the time to understand the patient's specific situation, and to ensure that the patient is entirely comfortable regarding the upcoming procedure. Your Consultation Your initial consultation, and subsequent consultations, will be provided only by Dr. Taleisnik, and never by a nurse or patient coordinator. Dr. Taleisnik will first review your general health, before proceeding to your specific cosmetic requests. The goals of the initial consultation are to determine the surgical procedures that are most appropriate for you, and to educate you completely regarding these procedures, so that you can make an informed, comfortable decision about your surgery. The goal of the second consultation is to individualize your specific surgical details and planning. If you will be having breast surgery, it is helpful to bring photographs of desired and undesired breast sizes and appearances. Measurements and photographs will usually be obtained at this evaluation. Above all, Dr. Taleisnik will spend whatever time is necessary to ensure that he understands your wishes and concerns as fully as possible, so that you will be extremely pleased with your appearance after surgery. He will review the risks of surgery, as well as your instructions before and after surgery, including your postoperative activity level. The possible use of an anesthetic pump postoperatively, to minimize discomfort, will be discussed. All of your questions will be answered. If additional questions arise, Dr. Taleisnik will meet with you, or speak with you by telephone, as many times as necessary. A final visit is usually scheduled several days prior to surgery, in order to ensure that your health is satisfactory for surgery, to provide prescriptions, to review all instructions, and to answer any final questions....
