At Burt & Will Plastic Surgery and Dermatology, your consultation is more than a first appointment—it’s a safe, supportive space to explore the question, “Is surgery right for me?”
Below, we share what to expect during your consultation and the key questions to ask when considering cosmetic or reconstructive surgery.
What Is the Purpose of a Plastic Surgery Consultation?
A consultation at Burt & Will Plastic Surgery and Dermatology is more than a meet-and-greet—it’s the foundation of a customized treatment plan. During this appointment, your surgeon will:
- Understand your goals and motivations
- Conduct a thorough medical and aesthetic evaluation
- Recommend surgical and/or non-surgical options tailored to your needs
- Provide honest expectations, including recovery timelines and results
- Answer your questions with transparency and empathy
The goal is to determine whether surgery aligns with your vision, health status, and long-term goals—not to pressure you into a decision.
5 Key Questions to Ask During Your Consultation
1. “What are my options?”
Surgery is just one path toward aesthetic improvement. At Burt & Will, patients often benefit from a blend of surgical and non-surgical solutions. For example, a patient considering a facelift may also explore RF microneedling (Morpheus8) or laser skin tightening (Cutera Titan) for mild laxity. Understanding the full spectrum of options helps ensure the chosen approach is right for your body and lifestyle.
2. “Am I a good candidate for this procedure?”
Factors like skin quality, age, health history, and lifestyle all play into candidacy. A board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Burt or Dr. Will will assess your anatomy, set realistic expectations, and determine whether you meet the criteria for safe and effective surgery.
3. “What is the recovery process like?”
Each procedure has a unique recovery timeline. Dr. Will, for example, uses advanced rhinoplasty techniques that avoid the use of large internal splints—resulting in less discomfort and faster healing. Whether you’re considering a breast lift, tummy tuck, or eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), your consultation will include detailed recovery planning.
4. “What results can I realistically expect?”
Burt & Will is known for natural, long-lasting outcomes that age gracefully. Rather than creating a one-size-fits-all look, their team enhances your existing beauty through expert surgical precision. Dr. Burt focuses on body contouring and breast enhancement, while Dr. Will brings a refined, feminine approach to facial rejuvenation. Realistic before-and-after galleries help visualize potential results.
5. “What are the risks, and how are complications managed?”
Every procedure carries risk. A reputable plastic surgeon won’t shy away from discussing them. At Burt & Will, patient safety is the highest priority, and all surgeries are performed in accredited facilities, including our new surgical suite in Burr Ridge, IL. You’ll leave your consultation with a clear understanding of both benefits and risks—empowered to make an informed choice.
When Is the Right Time for Surgery?
There’s no “perfect age” for plastic surgery. The right time is when:
- You are doing it for yourself, not someone else
- You’re physically healthy and emotionally prepared
- You’ve explored non-surgical options but desire longer-lasting results
- You’re ready to commit to recovery and aftercare
- You’ve chosen a qualified, board-certified surgeon you trust
Plastic surgery isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about restoring confidence, correcting asymmetry, or enhancing natural features in a way that feels authentic to you.
A Personalized, Pressure-Free Approach
Burt & Will Plastic Surgery and Dermatology is committed to personalized care, not pushy sales tactics. Consultations are private, educational, and led by experts who take time to understand your concerns and goals. Patients are never rushed or pressured into booking surgery.
As Dr. Will often says, “The decision to have surgery should come from a place of empowerment—it’s about taking control of your own story and choosing what feels right for you.” The same philosophy drives Dr. Burt, who combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of how surgical changes impact confidence and body image.
