Cosmetic Surgery Clinic

Make sure you have a proper consultation with the actual surgeon who will be operating on you. New UK government regulations insist on this. Be suspicious if you are not charged a fee for this consultation – a good surgeon’s time is valuable. A ‘free’ consultation will probably be with a counsellor, nurse or salesperson from the Cosmetic Surgery Clinic.

Write down a list of questions beforehand. Make sure you ask them all (even if it feels embarrassing). If the answers are not absolutely clear to you, say so and ask for a further explanation. Don’t just think you are being stupid. Remember that you are paying for this consultation with the Cosmetic Surgery Clinic or Cosmetic Dental Surgery.

Ask about any preparations you will need to make, what aftercare is provided, and what the risks are. Does the clinic have resuscitation equipment and doctors actually in the building 24 hours a day?
Who will you be able to contact if you need advice after the operation?
Find out about the recovery period. How much pain and bruising should you expect?
How long will you need off work? When will you have stitches out?
What will the scar be like?

Ask how long the results will last.
Ask the surgeon how many of these procedures he/she has done before.
If you are shown ‘before-and-after’ photographs, ask if the operation was done by your surgeon personally.
(You could be shown pictures of operations done at the clinic by a different surgeon.)
Make sure you know how much the procedure will cost from the Cosmetic Surgery Clinic.
