Congratulations on scheduling your plastic surgery consultation with Chicago Breast and Body! This first step toward enhancing your appearance and boosting your confidence is an exciting one. To help you make the most of your appointment, we’ve created this comprehensive guide on how to dress and what to bring.
Your comfort and confidence during the consultation are our top priorities. The right clothing choices can make your experience smoother and more productive, especially when discussing procedures like breast augmentation, tummy tucks, or body contouring.
Why Your Outfit Matters for a Plastic Surgery Consultation
During your consultation, our surgeons will need to examine the areas you’re considering for treatment. This typically requires removing some clothing to properly assess and discuss your aesthetic goals. The right outfit can:
- Make it easier to show the areas of concern
- Save time during your appointment
- Keep you comfortable throughout the examination
- Help you visualize potential results
What to Wear to Your Plastic Surgery Consultation

Best options include:
- Relaxed-fit t-shirts or tops
- Comfortable jeans or pants with elastic waistbands
- Hoodies or cardigans that are easy to remove

- Dresses with rear zippers
- Boots with extensive lacing
- Jumpsuits or rompers
- Clothing with numerous buttons or clasps
3. Dress for Office Temperature
Medical offices are typically kept cool for sanitary reasons and staff comfort. Plan accordingly to ensure you stay comfortable throughout your consultation.
