A consultation can reduce a breast augmentation to a short list of steps. Before you accept any summary, compare it with what published sources say the steps are.
Start with a general reference
A broad reference such as the Wikipedia article on breast augmentation shows how the operation is defined. Treat it as a starting point for questions, not as the final word on your own case.
Step one is anesthesia
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons lists anesthesia as the first step, with intravenous sedation and general anesthesia among the choices, and says your doctor will recommend the best choice for you. For a second description of the same procedure, read the Cleveland Clinic breast augmentation page and note where the two accounts agree.
Where the incision goes
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons lists three incision options: along the areolar edge (peri-areolar incision), the fold under the breast (inframammary fold) and in the armpit (axillary incision). A page on breast implant surgery from the FDA comes from a different kind of publisher, which makes it a fair cross-check.
The assumption a proposal can hide
A plan that names one anesthesia choice or one incision without mentioning the others has narrowed the list for you. Maybe the narrowing is justified, but you can only judge that if you know the options exist. The NHS offers its own page on breast enlargement with implants, an independent publisher you can hold the proposal against.
The question to bring to a consultation
Ask which anesthesia and which incision are planned for you, and why those were chosen over the other options. The answer should connect to your case and not simply repeat the default.
