Plastic surgery has its root since the ancient times and man has always had the desire to look good.There are a large number of trained plastic surgeons available all over the country but is requires a lot of patience to find out a plastic surgeon who can cater to exactly our needs and also fit our budget.Setting up an appointment with the doctor becomes easy if both the doctor and patient live in the same area but it becomes a bit difficult if the distance is a lot and in such a situation the best way is to consult a doctor online.This is called e-consult and is quite a growing practice in this advanced world of science.

Prior to a consultation for a surgery,the patient needs to discuss about his health history with the doctor as there could be many red flags to be addressed and solved before any surgical procedure can happen as they can cause complications during the procedure.The questions that are set up online for the patients to answer are rather easy and arranged in a simple manner such that it will not cause any confusions as the procedure of answering goes on.The time taken is just a few minutes and the doctor gets a fair idea about the patient's history and condition and can chalk out an idea of how to go about with the next step of investigations.This also involves providing some photographs online to the doctor who can then have a fair idea of how to deal with the case and he can make use of his references.

It is an excellent idea if the patient can provide details about how his current body looks and how it looked in the past as this enables the e-doctor to analyze the case better and he can work out on an effective plan on how to go about with the surgery and what steps are to be taken.It also helps the doctor to understand if he can really handle the case and it helps the patient also to make a final decision if he will go on with this particular doctor or make a different choice.This is an excellent method and makes things easier for both.Though the two individuals have not met face to face, yet they can talk, discuss and analyze the entire situation together and one has to agree that this process of consulting an e-doctor is helpful and saves a lot of time.After the consultation is done the doctor can decide on his strategy and plan how he will go about with the procedure and what will be the cost incurred. Then the patient and the surgeon can have another over the phone or online discussion regarding the charges, date and various other criteria to be met.

This is perhaps a boon to various patients who cannot really make it to a doctor who lives far away. Appointments can be set up and after a proper consultation the procedure can be carried out. This is an excellent way of communication and is actually a blessing in disguise and patients should make effective use of this service.
