A Step-by-Step Guide for Patients in Fairfield County and Throughout
Southern Connecticut

Introduction — Your Consultation Sets the Foundation for Exceptional Results


Choosing to undergo plastic surgery is a meaningful decision — whether it involves functional
breast reconstruction, breast reduction, body contouring, facial rejuvenation, or feminine
wellness treatments. Your consultation is the most important first step, setting the direction for
your treatment plan, your goals, and your long-term satisfaction.


At Jandali Plastic Surgery in Trumbull, Connecticut, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Shareef
Jandali and his highly specialized team provide a thorough, educational, and no-pressure
consultation process used by thousands of patients from Fairfield, Bridgeport, Westport,
Norwalk, Shelton, Stratford, Milford, New Haven, Danbury, Waterbury, Monroe, Easton, and all

you schedule your surgery — so you feel confident, informed, and supported every step of the
way.


“I left my consultation feeling completely at ease. Dr. Jandali explained every
option, answered all my questions, and made me feel like I was truly being listened
to.”

1️⃣ Before Your Consultation — How to
Prepare for the Visit

A great consultation starts with great preparation. To get the most out of your visit, we
recommend gathering the following ahead of time:

Whether you want smaller, lighter breasts, a flatter abdomen, more definition from Emsculpt
Neo, or help choosing between implants and DIEP flap reconstruction — write it down. No
question is too small.


✔ Collect your medical history

Include:

  • Prior surgeries

For procedures like breast reduction, panniculectomy, scar revision, DIEP flap reconstruction, or
