Before You Book: The Surgery Planning Guide
Before you put down that deposit, make sure you’re prepared for more than the surgery itself.
Before You Book: The Surgery Planning Guide is a practical workbook designed to help you slow down, ask better questions, and think through the real-life details of cosmetic surgery before you commit.
Inside, you’ll find guidance and worksheets to help you:
- Research and compare surgeons
- Prepare for your consultation
- Understand the full cost of surgery—not just the procedure price
- Think through medical clearance and health considerations
- Build your recovery support team
- Plan for work, children, transportation, meals and everyday responsibilities
- Prepare if you’re traveling for surgery
- Think through nutrition, hydration and habits
- Consider your mental and emotional readiness
- Understand general recovery and compression-garment considerations
- Prepare questions you may be hesitant to ask
- Create your own recovery plan, budget and work plan
- Use checklists to organize what you need before surgery
This isn't about rushing to book. It's about knowing what questions to ask before you do.
The guide also includes a dedicated section on fajas, including fit, sizing, break-in periods, washing and why having more than one garment may be helpful. Your surgeon or medical team should always determine what is medically appropriate for your individual recovery.
Inside the workbook:
✔️ Educational information
✔️ Practical planning worksheets
✔️ Consultation questions
✔️ Recovery checklists
✔️ Budget and work-planning pages
✔️ Surgery information card
✔️ Space to take notes and record your surgeon's instructions
Important: This workbook provides general educational and organizational information. It is not medical advice and does not replace your surgeon, medical team or other qualified healthcare professional. Your surgeon's individualized instructions should always take priority.
