Obviously half of the answers are on here and some questions are irrelevant but figured it may be useful to some! Good luck girls xxxxxxxx

– The surgeons questions, you’ll get a booklet which tells you all about the surgeons and what qualifications they have.
– The breast implant questions will have to be for your surgeon on your second consultation
– The breast implant surgery preparation questions should be either for your surgeon or the nurse on your third consultation (pre op surgery consultation)
– The rest of the questions could be for your first consultation
But honestly I think your thinking way to much into it and they generally tells you about those questions anyway, but remember your first consultation is with Julie a PC and she cant answer medical questions x

These are some really good questions they will be very useful to he new girls on the forum 🙂 x

ahh thankyou becky i was wandering at what stage the questions would be answered… i know half of them are stupid but a few seem good 🙂 im excited for my consultation tomorow just seen that apparently i will have to stop smoking? seems like a pretty convincing reason to quit all together but its gonna be hard!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oooh these are so good, thankyou!
I see my surgeon next week so i’m gonna copy some of them questions and take with me cus i know as soon as i step in that room my mind will go completely blank! xx
