No. A consultation commits you to nothing - it is a chance to get a professional assessment and full information so you can decide without rushing. The surgeon often suggests non-surgical alternatives when they can achieve the desired result. The decision to operate always rests with the patient.

The list depends on the type of operation and is set individually, but it is usually a standard pre-operative work-up: complete and biochemical blood counts, a coagulation panel, infection screening, an ECG, and a physician's clearance. The surgeon provides the exact list at the consultation. Most of the tests can be done directly at GENEVITY.

Elective aesthetic operations are usually performed from the age of 18, when the body is fully developed. The exception is reconstructive procedures for medical reasons, which may be done earlier at the doctors' discretion. At the consultation the surgeon considers not only age but also overall health and how well-founded the request is.

The surgeon clarifies your goal, assesses your anatomy and tissues and reviews your history and any previous procedures. We then discuss the realistic outcome, the options, the risks and the recovery period. You leave with a plan and, if surgery is appropriate, a list of investigations.

Bring recent test results, discharge notes from previous operations and a list of your medication, including hormones and anything affecting blood clotting. If you have reference photos of the result you want, show them — they help clarify your goal.

Sometimes, yes — it can reduce total recovery time and anaesthetic exposure compared with two separate operations. The decision depends on the scale of the procedures, your health and your test results. The surgeon weighs the benefit against the risk individually.

Usually two to four weeks — enough time for investigations, a physician's clearance and general preparation. Smoking and blood-thinning medication are stopped two weeks beforehand, as directed. The surgeon sets the exact timeline individually.
