Your First Plastic Surgery Consultation in Toronto: What to Expect
Nervous about your first consultation? Here’s exactly how it works, how to prepare, and the questions worth asking.
This article is general information and education — not medical advice. Everyone is different, and your surgeon or medical provider will know what’s right for your individual circumstances.
A consultation is a conversation, not a commitment. It’s your chance to ask questions, understand your options, and decide whether a procedure — and a surgeon — is right for you. Here’s what to expect with Dr. Katie Armstrong in Toronto.
How to prepare
Come with your goals in mind and a short list of questions. It helps to note any medications and supplements you take, your medical history, and (for some procedures) reference photos of the results you like. There’s no need to over-prepare — we’ll guide the rest.
What happens during
Dr. Armstrong reviews your goals and health history, examines the area, and explains your options candidly — including what surgery can and cannot achieve. You’ll discuss technique, recovery, and realistic expectations, and receive a personalized quote.
Questions worth asking
Am I a good candidate? Which technique do you recommend, and why? What does recovery really involve? Where will the procedure be performed? What results are realistic for me? A good surgeon welcomes every one of these.
The takeaway
You’ll leave understanding the recommended approach, the costs, and the next steps — with no pressure to decide on the spot. Take the time you need.
