Guest guest Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 > Hugs > Jo > Ok..help me here what are they? ================================ Mel...you want to ask about technique...how he will do the procedure, what the after care will be like...any drains, any scar management..compression bandages? How long?... things like that.....also what if your not happy with the results... lets say you keloid real bad or the end of the incision is dog-eared, or one arm is noticably larger than the other??? What is his " guarentee " so to speak, what will he 'touch-up' free if your not happy and what are you 'shit out of luck with'. Are all follow-up office visits included in the cost and does that include follow-up visits for a complication...What ARE the complications.... What is his pain control...Will he prescribe the pain meds ahead of time so you can have them Before you have surgery and won't have to hassle with getting them after. How many Batwings has he done in the past? Does he have photo's of HIS work...(not just before and after pics of patients who have had the surgery but HIS patients) Does he have any experience with the MO patient? Make sure you discuss your problems with anemia...it could affect your healing. Hugs Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
