SERVICES OFFERED

We will explore the ideas and motivations for surgery. There might be numerous factors that are contributing towards your patients' desire to change their appearance and defining these is an important part of their overall decision on surgery. 

Engagement in cosmetic surgery is typically due to a struggle or dislike with an aspect of your patients' appearance. It is therefore important that their current and past body image concerns (and how these relate to their current decision to engage in surgery) are explored.

We will discuss your patients' current and past mental health experiences and their general emotional well-being. We will also explore their support networks and coping strategies. Doing so will help with recommendations for pre or post operative care. 

We will discuss your patients' expectations of the proposed procedure, for example what do they hope will change as a result of the surgery. We will also explore with them the physical and psychological risks associated with surgery to ensure they are fully informed before they make a final decision.

We will ask your patients' about the pros and cons of the proposed surgery and we can explore any doubts or hesitations they may have. Before making a life-long decision on surgery, it is important that they have time to consider the psychological as well as the physical impacts of surgery.

We will produce a comprehensive and detailed report within seven days of your patients' assessment. If agreed by the patient, reports can be shared with you which are inclusive of any recommendations discussed.
