1. Your Reasons – The main and most important thing to think about before going under the knife is your reasons for having surgery in the first place. Decisions should be thought about over a period of time to make sure you are 100% certain that it is the right thing for you. Although implants can be removed, the surgery itself is irreversible so please think it through carefully.

2. Reputation – Have you chosen and reputable clinic in the Chicago area? Don’t just go on what the website says, get reviews first-hand by someone who has had surgery at the clinic. It’s your body and you only want the highest trained professionals to work on it!

3. Finances – How much will the complete surgery cost? What payment plans do they offer and how are you going to pay for the surgery? Some clinics offer monthly pay plans with 0% interest. Always make sure you know how you are going to pay for your medical costs.

4.Trust – Once you have chosen your clinic you will have a pre-operation meeting with your surgeon where you can discuss any issues you may have. Do you feel comfortable with your surgeon and trust his or her skills? Make sure you do before going through with the op. If not go look elsewhere!

5. Post-Op – What aftercare does your clinic offer? How often can you go for check-ups after the surgery is completed. And if anything goes wrong what are you covered for? These are all questions you should be asking your surgeon.
