Patient FAQ

 

These are just some of the questions you may want to ask to become comfortable and familiarize yourself with your cosmetic surgery procedure and plastic surgeon. Then it's up to you. Some patients conclude their consultation by scheduling surgery. Others want to think it over. Some return for a second or third consultation. We encourage you to do what feels right for you.

Cosmetic surgery is a big decision. You should not feel rushed into making a choice. Dr. Viera and our staff will do everything they can to help you make the right choice.
