Question 1

What exactly happens at the first consultation?

Accepted Answer

A complete facial examination, clinical photography and a conversation about what concerns you and what you hope for. It lasts between 45 and 60 minutes and ends with no decision taken.

Question 2

Do I need to bring anything?

Accepted Answer

Any previous medical reports, your usual medication and, if you have them, older photographs of yourself. They help a great deal in understanding how your face has changed.

Question 3

Can I come simply to find out more?

Accepted Answer

Of course. Many patients come only for guidance and return months or years later. There is no commercial follow-up of any kind.

Question 4

What does minimally invasive surgery mean?

Accepted Answer

Shorter incisions, dissection that respects the anatomical planes and less handling of the tissues. In practice: less swelling, faster recovery and more discreet scars.

Question 5

How much time off will I need?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the procedure. A blepharoplasty usually allows a normal social life within 7-10 days; a facelift needs two to three weeks. You are given a realistic timeline in consultation, before deciding anything.

Question 6

What kind of anaesthesia is used?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the procedure: sedation with local anaesthesia for shorter surgery and general anaesthesia for major procedures. Always with the same anaesthesiology team.

Question 7

When will I see the final result?

Accepted Answer

The result appears gradually. Obvious swelling settles within two weeks, but the final result stabilises between the third and sixth month.

Question 8

Will people notice I have had surgery?

Accepted Answer

The aim is that they do not. What people around you should notice is an improvement, without identifying the cause. That is why requests that would lead to an artificial result are declined.

Question 9

Can you refuse to operate on me?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it happens. When an expectation cannot be met or a procedure brings no real benefit, it is explained and another route, or none at all, is proposed.

Question 10

Are prices shown on the website?

Accepted Answer

No. Every plan is different, and the quote is given in writing after the facial study, detailing everything included: fees, operating theatre, anaesthesia and follow-up visits.
