Hey guys, I have a consultation at my local cosmetic surgery practice and wondered what questions if any are particullaly best to ask to gauge whether or not the surgeon is up to the job. With it being such a common surgery now days I can't see there being a problem as I believe my problem to just be a glandular issue not excess skin/fat but would be nice to get some advice on people that have been through this before. 
My consultation is at surgycare in west bridgford, Nottingham with mr domenico mileto.
Here's the link to there site and his personal info.

Probably the most important question is how many gyne surgeries the surgeon performs a year.  For example the surgeon I went to does 200-300 a year so I was pretty comfortable.  
I am sure sure the doctors will chime in with other helpful questions.

Several questions to ask:  How many gyne surgeries does he do in a year; ask to see lots of before and after photos of patients; make sure he is willing to perform combined lipo and excision at the same time (most patients require this); ask, if possible, to speak to one or more post op patients.

Good luck!
