Preparing for your first consultation

What to bring, which questions to ask and what happens during the appointment.

01Why the consultation matters

The first consultation carries no obligation. It is a conversation to understand your request, assess your health and determine whether surgery is right for your situation — or not.

The better prepared you are, the more useful this conversation will be.

02What to bring

  • A list of your current medications, including dietary supplements
  • Your medical and surgical history, as well as any known allergies
  • Results of any recent tests, if you have them
  • If you wish, photos illustrating the result you are hoping for

03Questions to ask

  • Which technique do you recommend for me, and why?
  • What are the risks and possible complications?
  • How long is the recovery, and when can I return to my usual activities?
  • What result can I reasonably expect?
  • What is the total cost, including follow-up?

04Taking time to decide

A decision about aesthetic surgery should never be rushed. Take time to reflect after the consultation, and don’t hesitate to ask for a second appointment if you still have questions.

A question about your situation?

Every case is unique. The safest approach is to discuss it directly with the surgeon.
