Aesthetic (Cosmetic) Consultation

A consultation with a Plastic Surgeon can help you decide what is best for you, not only aesthetically, but also physically and psychologically. At East Lake Plastic Surgery Center, we want you to be a well informed and satisfied patient.

During your initial consultation, you will spend about 1-1 ½ hours with Dr. Moraitis. He will review your medical history, evaluate your condition, and discuss your goals with you. Photographs will be taken and surgical information will be reviewed with you. You will be presented with options that range from minimally invasive procedures such as anti-aging therapy to more comprehensive plastic surgery. Together, you will select a treatment option based on your goals and concerns, your anatomy and lifestyle. Dr. Moraitis will answer any questions you may have about your procedure, including any risks, the type of anesthesia used, where the procedure will be performed, and what to expect in the recovery period.

Our Registered Nurse will educate you about the surgical process and review your preoperative instructions. You will also be provided with a customized information packet for you to take home.

About one week before your surgery, you will have a pre-operative visit with Dr. Moraitis. He will review any questions you may have relating to the surgery or the operative permits. Our Registered Nurse will review pre- and post- surgery instructions with you and educate you on your recovery process. If you plan to have a friend or relative assist you at home for the first several days postoperatively, we recommend that they come with you for this visit. It will help prepare them to assist you in your recovery and give them the opportunity to ask any questions they may have.

Throughout your postoperative period, you will be followed closely by both Dr. Moraitis and his nurse. Both will be available for your needs or concerns 24 hours a day. You will be seen frequently in office by Dr. Moraitis until your healing process is complete. Dr. Moraitis and his nurse Alicia will also call you at home during your initial recovery period to follow your progress. Routine follow-up visits will be scheduled throughout your first postoperative year. Subsequent visits may be scheduled as needed.

Each of your visits are scheduled for the appropriate amount of time on an individual basis to ensure that you are not rushed in and out and have the opportunity to have all of your questions answered by the doctor. We want your plastic surgery experience to be a positive and satisfactory process.
