"He doesn't seem to have any will to communicate with the patient." The director consultation consisted of comments about my chest wall characteristics, a simple before-and-after display of surgeries he had done, and implant volume recommendations.
- He would not really accept questions.
What I disliked 1. There was no clear explanation of the method or incision location. - At a previous hospital consultation, I was told that because of my asymmetric chest wall skeleton, a subpectoral inframammary incision was recommended. Because of that, I wanted an answer like, "Because my body type is like this, we will use this method." Since there was no mention of the surgical method or incision, I asked, "Then this is dual-plane with an axillary incision, right?" I was very shocked that he responded in a way that suggested patients do not need to know those details. When you operate on your own body, recommending a surgical method based on body type is very basic. But it seems they always use the same method, which is why he reacted that way.
2. He did not touch my tissue. (No mention of tissue quality) - They only measured my chest with a ruler and marked it with a pen, and there was no touch at all that would let him feel the tissue quality. So I wanted to ask about that, but the consultation only lasted about 10 minutes, and when I was trying to ask what my tissue quality was like, I was told, <I can't answer every question in detail because of time, so go ask the manager over there.>
3. He did not bring up poor postoperative outcomes first - At the previous hospital, I had heard in detail about what problems could occur because of asymmetry in the chest bone structure. So I was curious how they would think about my prognosis here, but it was not mentioned. So when I asked, "Wouldn't this cause the nipples to point inward or the breasts to be uneven?" he only then answered, "That can happen."
<I would never even consider having surgery at this hospital if it were not famous.> However, unlike the previous hospital, they spoke confidently about the prognosis, so I could not tell whether this was because it was truly possible or because they had only glanced at it and were speaking carelessly.
I worry that if there is a problem after surgery, such as not liking the shape, I will be very, very stressed by the doctor.
