A consultation should explore why you are considering treatment, what change is realistically possible, suitable alternatives and how recovery may affect work, exercise and family responsibilities.

Common questions

Cosmetic surgery FAQs

Your answers will depend on the selected procedure, health assessment and treatment plan.

How do I know which procedure is appropriate?+

A surgeon must examine the area, understand your goals and review your health before recommending a procedure or alternative.

What should I bring to a consultation?+

Bring medical records, a list of medicines and allergies, previous surgery details and questions about scars, risks and recovery.

Will I receive a treatment plan at the first visit?+

The first visit focuses on assessment and discussion. Tests or further review may be needed before a final plan is offered.

How should I compare cosmetic procedures?+

Compare what each option can change, scars, anaesthesia, recovery, risks, longevity and whether a non-surgical option exists.

Does every cosmetic operation require general anaesthesia?+

No. Anaesthesia depends on the procedure, extent and patient factors. Your surgeon and anaesthesia team will explain the plan.

How long does recovery take?+

Recovery varies widely. Your procedure-specific plan should cover wound care, work, driving, exercise and follow-up.

Can multiple procedures be combined?+

Selected procedures may sometimes be combined, but longer surgery can increase recovery demands and risk. Feasibility requires clinical assessment.

Ask about qualifications, experience with the procedure, scars, complications, aftercare, facility support and what happens if you have a concern during recovery.
