# Plastic Surgery Candidacy Answer Map

## Why this exists
Plastic-surgery prospects need stronger fit guidance than a generic cosmetic FAQ can provide. They are deciding whether the practice feels exacting, safe, and credible enough to trust with a highly personal decision.

## Highest-friction question families
- am I a fit for this procedure
- how do you evaluate candidacy
- what does the consult actually cover
- what should I understand before I commit to the next step
- what happens if I am interested but not ready yet

## Fit guidance
Strong candidacy answers explain:
- who tends to be a strong fit
- what expectations should be managed early
- when more evaluation is needed
- what makes a patient a poor or delayed fit

## Consult clarity
Prospects should understand:
- what happens during the consult
- how photos, planning, and expectations are handled
- whether pricing is discussed at that stage
- what the next decision looks like after the consult

## Procedure-page support blocks
Each high-priority procedure page should help answer:
- fit
- planning
- recovery
- risk and tradeoff awareness
- next-step timing

## Publishing sequence
1. candidacy and fit page
2. consult process page
3. specialty recovery guidance
4. surgeon credibility and proof block
5. coordinator follow-up answers

## Operating note
Plastic-surgery authority grows when the practice sounds precise and candid, not merely polished.
