Patient-physician rapport is one of the most important factors in preventing sub-optimal results in plastic surgery. Excellent rapport begins with a thorough consultation. An accurate health history, along with a detailed physical examination, reveals the problem and possible treatment options. Communication between patient and surgeon includes a comprehensive description of the benefits and risks of each treatment option. A discussion of ideal breast implant size is important for each patient. Breast and chest measurements, as well as patient preference, play a significant role in implant size selection. Other variables to discuss include incision site for insertion of the implants, location of the implant under or over the muscle, and breast implant shape. All of these decisions together minimize the risk for sub-optimal results in plastic surgery. In patients seeking liposuction, excellent physician-patient communication and trust motivates patients to change their lifestyles prior to any surgery. A healthy diet, along with an appropriate exercise routine, increases the body's metabolism and leads to far better results than liposuction alone. Explanation of body proportion avoids impractical expectations. Rhinoplasty patients need to convey their exact desired nose to their plastic surgeon. The perfect method to convey an ideal nose is to bring photos of other noses patients envision having as their own.

Excellent physician-patient rapport is perhaps most important in revision plastic surgery procedures. With goals of improving an imperfect result, surgeons and patients must really discuss all treatment options as well as their risks, benefits and limitations. Patient-physician communication is not only essential in selecting the ideal treatment choice, but also in avoiding surgery all together at times. The best outcome of detailed discussions during plastic surgery consultations is the avoidance of unnecessary procedures. Excellent surgeons are not only determined by their technical skills, but also their ability to decide when not to operate. Repeat consultations with plastic surgeons will aid patients in developing the physician rapport necessary in achieving ideal surgical outcomes or avoiding unnecessary surgery all together.
