Be sure to ask the surgeon for references and then actually call them!.!.!. you can learn a lot that way!. Also Google the surgeon and contact the governing board for plastic surgery in your state!.!.!. make sure her record is clean!.
For the consult itself, you are doing good!. The suggestion for allergies was good!.!.!. In fact, this weekend, write out ALL the various responses you have had (even good ones) to any medicines you can remember taking, even if they were "recreational"!.!.!. This helps the surgeon plan your treatment course!.!.!. Don't trust your memory!.!.!. write it all down!.
If you have a pocket recorder, take it with and record each of the consults!.!.!. There can NEVER be too much documentation!.!.!.
If you are over 35, be sure to take "before" and "after" pictures, so you can compare skin movement and verify any wrinkles as being new or not!. Store them in a safe place so you can keep them for yearly comparisons to make sure the surgery holds its shape!. Don't trust you own memory for this!.
Good luck, and best wishes!
