Every surgeon has his own approach to dealing with patients. Some present a flowery portrait of the proposed procedure. Others may be a little too cold. I try to strike the middle here. You as the patient should be entitled to having questions answered.
Some questions have no right or wrong answer, but are a matter of opinion.
If your doctor is a bit hesitant to answer a question plainly, this might be the reason. Don't be shy. Some patients are not very good about returning to the doctor after surgery. By this time, patients feel less compelled to come for follow-up. The doctor will very likely wish to examine you at consultation.
