Do you already know what surgery you want/need during online/f2f consultations?

Hi all, sorry if this sound silly. But I was just wondering if all of you had already know what surgery you need/want by the time you go into consultations (online/f2f) with the clinics or Doctors? 

Because as I was going through the threads, it seems like a good number already seem to have this clear idea of the various surgeries they need, down to the T even prior to their consultations. 
 

And I’m here like, I just want to have a smaller face and it will most probably involve my jaws lol. But is it V-Line? FC? Long curve? Mini-V? Max-V? I mean, how would I know what is right for me? I thought that’s what the consultations are for? Sorry if I’m not making sense, just feeling kinda confused right now. All you ladies and gents who know what you need at the get-go simply amazes me.

I guess a lot of these people already did consultations from various clinic so they already have an Idea of what they need?

Also a lot of people may have studied by themselves about different cases 

Also I think you that if you want to do plastic surgery you should already have in mind the part that your are concerned or want to improve.

Like me, I hate my nose and my double chin, so  I want to improve this.

Without consultation I already know that I prob need nose surgery and liposuction or any procedure on my jowl. 

And from then on you should try consulting with as many clinic as possible

and cross check what they suggested to see if they are over selling something

You can study and have basic idea about what specific surgeries you need 

but i think it is most important to check with specialists (many) and cross check after

Hi smilingmonkey many thanks for replying! Yes as of now, I only vaguely have the idea that something need to be done to my jaws and probably the cheekbones in order to have a smaller face. I think you are right, as what I need now is various consultations and cross checking the facts.

Just hoping now that the covid will go away fast enough or vaccines be put out safely and smoothly; can’t wait for the travels to resume fast enough.

I agree with smilingmonkey! Consult with alot of clinics and see what they suggest, and compare to each other. When I did this, I asked questions like "what procedures do you recommend for me to achieve _____?" rather than asking for specific procedures.

One thing to keep in mind is that they may have different suggestions when you consult in person compared to online. Pictures can only show so much, and you should have the in-person consultation with the doctor who will be performing the surgery (rather than just the consultant). The doctor should have the best idea of what procedure will work to achieve the result you ask for. My personal opinion is that it's more important to have a skilled, experienced, and ethical doctor who understands the result you're going for, rather than for you to have an exact idea of what procedure you want ahead of time.
