As we conclude, the spotlight shines on the potent combination of patient autonomy and the surgeon's expertise in cosmetic surgery. Nurturing a relationship anchored in trust and informed choice is paramount, especially when considering larger-than-life implant sizes. We unpack the collaborative process, empowering patients to steer their journey while leaning on our professional acumen for what's achievable.
