What to expect, from first consultation to recovery.
Every procedure in this practice follows the same five stages — transparent at each step, and adapted in scheduling for international patients.
THE
5 Stages
A well-informed patient is a patient who trusts their surgeon — and arrives at surgery with realistic expectations. The steps below apply to every procedure in this practice, adapted in scheduling for international patients.
01
First consultation
In person or by video call. Medical history, examination (or photographic assessment for remote consultations), and an honest discussion of what is and isn’t achievable.
02
Surgical planning
A written plan outlining technique, expected outcome, risks and recovery timeline. Pre-operative tests and medical clearance are arranged at this stage.
03
Surgery day
Clear pre- and post-operative instructions in writing, not only verbally.
04
Early recovery
Structured follow-up in the days immediately after surgery, with clear guidance on when to travel and warning signs to watch for.
05
Long-term follow-up
Scheduled review appointments to assess healing and final results.
Every stage above is explained before it happens — the same transparency carries through recovery and follow-up.
Transparency and security
Every procedure carries risk, and every consultation includes a direct discussion of it — not as a disclaimer, but as part of planning. Patients leave each consultation with a written summary of what was discussed, so decisions are made with time to reflect, not under pressure.
Nothing on surgery day should be a surprise — every step above is explained before it happens, not after.
